According to that highly-esteemed font of all local wisdom, The Melton Times (possibly the least intersting or useful local newspaper on the planet) and its erudite online counterpart meltononline.co.uk (ditto) Frisby-on-the-Wreake could be considered to be just a little bit like this:

'On the south side of the River Wreake valley, Frisby was once a linear village. Side lanes led to the mill by the river, the Church of St. Thomas à Becket and to Asfordby. Frisby has since expanded with new housing.
Nine former gravel pits are used for sailing, giving a picturesque foreground to the village. Th e Wreake Navigation once served Frisby but the locks fell into disrepair in the 1800s. Today the Navigation is a popular fishing spot.
Old Frisby centres on the church (built 1200 -1500) and has considerable charm, with picturesque cottages. Glebe Cottage, one of the oldest, was built circa 1550. The Bell public house dates from 1759.
Reverend William Wragge gave Frisby a Gretna Green reputation in the late 1700s. He married anyone regardless of the banns being read!
On the main Leicester road, south of the village, are remains of an ancient 'pilgrim cross'. Known locally as Stump Cross, it marks a mid-point between Launde Abbey and Car Colston. In Frisby, at the junction of Water Lane and Main Street, the shaft and stepped base of another cross, dating from 1350, remains.'

For once, something they've written actually makes sense. Remarkable.
