Melton Mowbray, Market town in Leicestershire, England.
The town lies along the River Eye between Leicester and Nottingham, featuring stone buildings and rolling countryside with an elevation of 120 meters.
The settlement appears in the 1086 Domesday Book as Medeltone with 200 inhabitants and received its Mowbray suffix from Norman lords of the manor.
The Church of St Mary, built between 1280 and 1330, contains unusual double-aisled transepts and represents medieval ecclesiastical architecture.
Melton Mowbray maintains a cattle market that serves as a central economic hub for agricultural trade in the Leicestershire region.
The town holds European Protected Geographical Status for its pork pies and houses one of only six licensed producers of Stilton cheese.
