Description

L3477 - St. Andrew's parish church is Kegworth's earliest surviving building. The tower base dates from 1250, and the remainder was built in 1370 when the two manors of Kegworth were united under a single Lord of the Manor. During the 19th century the village's main industry was the hosiery and lace trade. The Kegworth hand frame stockingers were highly skilled in the art of making silk stockings and they received many orders from royalty and people of high rank. Queen Victoria, the Prince of Wales, the Danish Royal family and the King of Spain were all customers of the stockingers of Kegworth.
