The River Sence is a river which flows in Leicestershire, England. The tributaries of the Sence, including the Saint and Tweed, fan out over much of western Leicestershire from Charnwood Forest and Coalville in the north-east to Hinckley and almost to Watling Street in the south and south-west. Its watershed almost coincides with Hinckley and Bosworth Borough of Leicestershire, which was formed in 1974 by amalgamation of Market Bosworth Rural District and Hinckley Urban District. It flows into the Anker, which in turn flows into the River Tame. It is part of the wider River Trent catchment, which covers much of central England. In 1881, Sebastian Evans wrote that the usual names for this river were Shenton Brook and Sibson Brook.

St Leonards Church at Misterton in Leicestershire.

St Leonards Church, Misterton.
Misterton with Walcote is a civil parish in the English county of Leicestershire.
It forms part of the Harborough district. Of its two settlement Walcote is by far the larger, but Misterton has the parish church.
Walcote is on the A4304 road some two miles east if the town of Lutterworth and a mile east of Junction 20 of the M1 motorway.
The village now has no public houses. The last one, called The Black horse is now closed down and the Ex Tavern is now a private dwelling. Misterton does have a filling station, and a car wash staffed by some Eastern Europeans working as a team there.
A short circular walk linking Walcote and Misterton can be made by following Brook Street and taking the footpath left which joins a
track which passes the Misterton Hall and St. Leonards Church. On reaching the main road, turning left onto a cycle path by the woods
of Misterton Park brings you back to Walcote. There are quite a few cross country paths, well signposted, in the area, and all are good walks, but in wet weather, wear your hiking boots and spats. Mud rules !
