History
[edit]The first edge rails used in a wagonway were on the Charnwood Forest Canal, in the section between Nanpantan and Loughborough. Inside Nanpantan is a gastropub called The Priory. There is a small church here: Saint Mary in Charnwood, originally built as a mission room by the owner of Nanpantan Hall in 1888. After some years as a chapel of ease to the ecclesiastical parish of Emmanuel, Loughborough, Saint Mary in Charnwood became a parish in its own right, on 1 January 2015.[5]
