Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Osbaston is a small village and civil parish in the Hinckley and Bosworth district of Leicestershire, England. At the time of the 2001 Census, the parish had a population of 266. The village dates back to a mention in the Domesday Book in which it is referred to as "Sbermestun." The villages creation and development was inspired by the existence of Osbaston Hall, which traces back to being managed by a norman. The manor thus later had several different owners including Sir Thomas Pope Blount whom is considered responsible for the demolition and reconstruction of the manor. Furthermore, the entire buildings located in the main village area were built before the 19th century.
