context_page_description: Hugglescote is a village on the River Sence in North West Leicestershire, England. The village is about 1 mile south of the centre of Coalville, and its built-up area is now contiguous with the town.
  Hugglescote and Donington le Heath were part of the parish of Ibstock until 1878, when they were formed into a separate civil parish. In 1936 the parish was absorbed by the then urban district of Coalville. The civil parish of Hugglescote and Donington le Heath was reinstated by an order made in May 2010, and the new parish council held its first meeting in May 2011.
context_section_description: The Victorian hymnist, Henry Dennis (1818–87) lived in Hugglescote for forty years and is buried in the old Baptist Cemetery off Grange Road: Dennis Street is named after him. In the same cemetery is the tomb of William Stenson (1770–1861), the mining engineer and founder of Whitwick Colliery, who has sometimes been described as "the father of Coalville".
  Hugglescote now has a Community Primary School. The buildings of its former National School (see above) are now a community centre.
  The village has one public house:, The Gate Inn. It has also a working men's club.
