Lutterworth sits in a practical spot in south Leicestershire, positioned almost exactly where the M1 meets the A14. While many know it for the sprawling logistics hubs at Magna Park that dominate the local economy, the town centre itself retains the layout of a traditional market town. It is perhaps best known historically for two very different pioneers: John Wycliffe, who translated the Bible into English while rector here in the 14th century, and Sir Frank Whittle, who developed the jet engine at the Ladywood Works during the 1930s. Today, life revolves around the high street and the various independent shops tucked away in the shopping squares, balanced by a decent selection of supermarkets and schools. Its location in the 'Golden Triangle' makes it an incredibly efficient base for getting across the Midlands, though it manages to keep a quiet, distinct identity that feels separate from the larger nearby hubs of Rugby and Leicester.
