THRINGSTONE


'Thringstone' is an English village in North-West Leicestershire, near the East Midlands town of Coalville.
In the most recent UK census, conducted in 2001, Thringstone's population was recorded at 4,325 - having grown from a figure of 901 as recorded in 1801, largely as a result of a dramatic expansion of the local coal-mining industry in the first part of the nineteenth century.
The English philanthropist and researcher Charles Booth is buried at Saint Andrew's churchyard, in the village. His tomb was designated a listed monument in 2002.
