 Kegworth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kegworth (pronounced locally as "Keggoth" or "kegg-wuth") is a village on the River Soar, Leicestershire, England.
A date cannot be put on the foundations of the first settlement, although Anglo-Saxon burials have been found in Kingston-On-Soar and at Hathern, a pin of the 7th century was also found near the Hermitage which may indicate the date and location of the earliest settlers.
Kegworth was part of the Rural district of Castle Donington until 1974 when it became part of the District of North West Leicestershire, whose administrative centre is located at Coalville.
