Lindley Hall Farm is a farm located near Fenny Drayton and Higham on the Hill in Leicestershire, England. The farm is a fourth generation mixed family farm owned by the Farmer and Fisher families. In 2002, the Ordnance Survey defined Lindley Hall Farm (located on the outskirts of the Village) as the geographical centre of England. A plaque denoting this point, and disputing the "traditional" centre of England as being at Meriden in the West Midlands, was erected by Ordnance Survey on 14 June 2013. The farm is part of the former RAF Lindley airfield, named after the farm which itself was named after the former Lindley Hall. Fenny Drayton (formerly Drayton-in-the-Clay) is a village in Leicestershire, England, in the district of Hinckley and Bosworth. It is near to the county border of Warwickshire and has a Coventry (Warwickshire) postcode. The village is just off the A444 road, an old Roman road, north of Nuneaton close to its crossroads with the A5 (the Roman road called Watling Street). The hamlet is also crossed by another Roman road, and is found at the end of the scenic country lane of the Fenn Lanes, which is now known to be the site of The Battle of Bosworth at Fenn Lanes Farm, Upton. ==References== * http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-22890463 * http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2271925.stm * http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/337265 * http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/Leicestershire-village-exact-centre-England/story-19292893-detail/story.html 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lindley Hall Farm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
