Blaby is a village in central Leicestershire, England, some five miles south of Leicester city centre and with a population of around 6,240 (2001 figures). While there are few buildings of outstanding historical or achitectural interest, old Blaby contains some ancient and picturesque dwellings and has a charming 'olde worlde' feel. Old Blaby also contains The Baker's Arms, a thatched public house that dates back to 1485 and is thus the second oldest pub in Britain (after 'The Trip to Jerusalem' in Nottingham). Otherwise 'new' Blaby is a sizeable modern village with most shops and amenitites standing on the A426 between Leicester to the north and Lutterworth to the south. Fosse Park shopping centre and the M1 and M69 motorways are just a few miles away. It gives its name to the Blaby (district) and also to the Parliament constituency that was held by former Chancellor of the Exchequer Nigel Lawson between 1974 and 1992. Since 1992 its Member_of_Parliament has been Andrew Robathan. ==External links== * Villages in Leicestershire
