Adjacent to the Parish Church in Loughborough are the remains of The Old Rectory. Today this houses a museum which is open on Saturdays from April until September between the hours of 10am and 4pm. The rest of the site is open at all times. The oldest parts of the building date back to around 1200. There are stories of secret tunnels that run betweeen the Rectory and the Parish Church.

Betweeen the Old Rectory and the Parish Church there is a wildlife garden. This is a community project, and serves as a sanctuary for wildlife. The following pictures taken in February 2007 show the effect the exceptional weather is having on the flora and fauna.
