We welcome photographs relating to the village - also documents, magazines, anecdotes, photographs of ancestors - anything that relates to the historical aspects of Goadby Marwood.

Goadby Marwood - Village Hall
Goadby Marwood Village Hall: The Heart of Our Community
Nestled in the heart of our picturesque village, Goadby Marwood Village Hall is a Grade II listed building that serves as a welcoming and inclusive space of all. Steeped in history yet full of life, it brings our community together through a variety of events and activities.
From coffee mornings and quiz nights to craft workshops and yoga classes, there's always something happening. On the last Friday of each month, the hall transforms into a pop-up-pub, offering a warm and friendly atmosphere to catch up with neighbours and friends.
The hall is also available for private hire, making it the perfect venue for gatherings, celebrations and community events.

Goadby Marwood is one Leicestershire's most beautiful villages, situated a few miles from the Vale of Belvoir. Most of the houses are built from locally mined ironstone and some date from as early as the 1600s.
​
One of the major attractions is its quiet and very rural situation. There is only one road in, and out, of the village, although a few deranged visitors have been known to venture through to Wycomb via the gated road in the bovine dominated field at the bottom end of the village. No record exists of what became of them.
The village has no pub or shop, and even the Post Office, which used to open for at least 2 hours a week, is now closed for ever.
