About Melton Mowbray
Melton Mowbray or Melton is a town
in the borough of Melton north-east Leicestershire,
England. Melton Mowbray is best known for being the
home of the Melton Mowbray pork pies, which are filled
with sage-flecked, tiny chunks of pork, glistening
in rich pork jelly, and encased in a freestanding,
crisp, golden pastry crust. In addition to its culinary
fame for pork pies, Stilton cheese originated near
Melton Mowbray, and is still made in the town today.
Stilton cheese takes its name from the village of
Stilton, 80 miles north of London, where it was marketed
to travellers on the Great North Road, though no Stilton
was ever made there. The round corner of a blue Stilton
cheese, made in the traditional cylindrical shape.The
town is also home to Melton cloth (first mentioned
in 1823), which is the familiar tight-woven woollen
cloth which is heavily milled, and a nap raised so
as to form a short, dense, non-lustrous pile. Sailors'
peacoats are traditionally made of Melton cloth, the
universal workmans' donkey jackets of Britain and
Ireland and in North America, loggers' "cruising
jackets" and Mackinaws. The phrase "painting
the town red" is said to have originated in Melton
when some young aristocrats up for the hunt went on
a drunken spree in the 1800s and literally painted
Melton town centre red. Melton Mowbray has been a
market town for over 1,000 years. Recorded as Leicestershire's
only market in the 1086 Domesday Survey, it is the
third oldest market in England. Tuesday has been market
day ever since royal approval was given in 1324. Melton
Mowbray is home to a rare example of early town government.
The Melton Mowbray Town Estate was founded at the
time of the reformation, in 1549, when two townsfolk
sold gold seqeuestered from the church and bought
land to be held in trust for all inhabitants. The
Town Estate provided early forms of education, the
first street lighting, and today owns and operates
the town's parks and sportsgrounds, and the town's
market. Melton shares a Member of Parliament (currently
Alan Duncan from the Conservatives) with Rutland.
Its museum famously displays a dead two-headed calf.
There is also a Melton in Victoria, Australia. The
name "Melton" comes from the early English
word "Middletune" (middle town). "Mowbray"
is a Norman family name - the name of early Lords
of the Manor.
