Tixover is a hamlet and civil parish in Rutland.
The parish church, St Luke's, near the River Welland, now stands about 3/4 mile from the village.
Tixover Grange, west of the A47 road, was home to the residential school named after Wilfred Pickles from 1955[3] to the 1980s. Tixover House is now a care home, run by Barchester Healthcare.[4]
One of the country's most popular off-road driving centres is at Tixover Quarry, which is used by many Land Rover clubs for days out, and by Land Rover Owner Magazine for vehicle tests and photo shoots.
