*************

Hallaton is a village and civil parish in the Harborough district of Leicestershire, England. According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 523, increasing to 594 at the 2011 census.^[1]

Hallaton Hall and its lands were owned by Calverley and Amelia Jane Bewicke in 1845. Their daughter was the writer and campaigner Alicia Little.^[2]

The parish church is dedicated to St Michael and is mainly of the 13th century: the aisles were added a century later.^[3] The village has a famous bottle kicking ritual and "Hare Pie Scramble", which take place usually on Easter Monday. There is a small village museum, offering history of the area. The Hallaton Treasure, a late Iron Age hoard of more than 5,000 silver and gold coins was found at a site near Hallaton in 2000.^[4]

There was once a Hallaton railway station on the line between Market Harborough and Nottingham.
