Hambleton, Rutland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hambleton is a village and civil parish in Rutland, England. It is located about two miles east of Oakham. In 2001 it had a population of 136. Since the construction of Rutland Water in the 1970s, the village has been surrounded on three sides by water and the area is known as the Hambleton Peninsula.
The parish originally included the settlements of Upper Hambleton, Middle Hambleton and Nether Hambleton. The latter two have now been almost completely submerged by Rutland Water. The village contains the 12th century Church of England church of St Andrew, a pub called The Finch's Arms and a hotel, Hambleton Hall.
