Aylestone

Aylestone is a suburb of Leicester, England at grid reference SK572008. It is south-west of the city centre, but to the east of the River Soar. It was formerly a separate village, but the growth of the city has meant that it is now part of the urban area, largely surrounded by 20th century housing. However, the area around the parish church retains much of the former village character. Aylestone had a population of 10,801 as of 2001. The parish church of St Andrew dates mostly from the 13th century.
