In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Six Hills like this:
SIXHILLS, or Segshill, a place in Dalby-on-the-Wolds parish, Leicester; near the Fosse way, 7 miles WNW of Melton-Mowbray. Many barrows and high earthworks are here; and the adjacent part of the Fosse way is high-ridged and paved.
Six Hills is now part of MELTON District. Click here for graphs and data of how MELTON has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Six Hills itself, go to Statistics.
