Drakes Directory of Leicestershire 1861

REDMILE, a pleasant village and parish, seated in the Vale of Belvoir, 3 miles S. by W. of Bottesford, 8 miles W. of Grantham, and 13 miles N.N.E. of Melton Mowbray; contains 527 inhabitants and 1,733 acres of land. The Duke of Rutland is lord of the Manor, which was anciently called Redmild and has been held by the owners of the castle since the time of the Conquest. The living is a rectory valued at £480, in the patronage of the Duke of Rutland, and the incumbency of the Rev. John Healey, B. A. The church (St Peter) is a neat building, in the early English style of architecture, with a square tower containing three bells, surmounted by a spire. The Primitive Methodists have a chapel here. The National school was erected in 1839, at the expense of the then rector, except the ground and timber which were given by the Duke of Rutland. The poor have the interest of £20, left by John Shilcock, Esq. in 1838; and the interest of £10 , left by William Sills; and 5s a year out of Mill Close, left by Thomas Furmidge. The Nottingham and Grantham Canal has a wharf on the north -west side of the village. The parish feast is on the Sunday after Old St Peter's day. Letters received by foot post from Bottesford.
