Wilbarston, Market Harborough, LE16 8QB

Wilbarston is a village and civil parish located in the English county of Northamptonshire, within the Welland valley. It falls under the administration of North Northamptonshire and lies roughly five miles east of the Leicestershire town of Market Harborough, accessible via the A427 road. According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 767 people, a figure that included the neighbouring settlement of Pipewell; by the 2011 census the population had slightly decreased to 753. A Community Governance Review in February 2015 saw the ward of Pipewell transferred into the civil parish of Rushton. These details paint a picture of a modest, rural community with a stable population and a close relationship to nearby Market Harborough.
