This striking Art Deco house on the road to Marston Trussell was built in about 1936 and is now a Grade II listed building.

It was built by the Cox family who were very important members of the village community throughout the first half of the twentieth century.

Frederick G. Cox moved into the village in about 1900 and had the impressive house known as 'The Orchards' built. He worked for R. & W.H. Symington in Market Harborough, who were generally known as 'The Corset Factory'. He worked his way up in the company and became Chairman and Managing Director by 1912. His sons Edward and Geoffrey followed him into the firm and also became directors. Kiln Yard was built for Edward and he and his wife lived there for a number of years. 'Freddy' died in 1942 and Edward became Managing Director himself in due course. He and Geoffrey were controversially removed from the board after a company shake-up in 1962.

The house is strikingly situated and commands a fine, extensive view towards the west.
