East Leake (/liːk/) is a large village and civil parish in the Rushcliffe district of Nottinghamshire, England, although its closest town and postal address is Loughborough in Leicestershire. Census data from 2021 shows that the village now has a population of 8,553.[1] The original village was located on the Sheepwash Brook. Kingston Brook also runs through the village. Near the centre of the village is the historic St. Mary's Church,[2] dating back to the 11th century, which Sheepwash Brook flows past, and an old ford, which provided access to the pinfold. The church has six bells.[3]
The Treaty of Leake was signed in 1318 by King Edward II and his baronial opponents.[4]
British Gypsum, a plasterboard manufacturer, has its headquarters in the village.[5] The mining of gypsum locally began from medieval times but modern operations began in 1914,[6] with manufacturing of plasterboard starting in 1917.[7]
