South Luffenham

South Luffenham is a village in the county of Rutland in the East Midlands of England.

It once had a railway station which was located to the north of the village and also served the neighbouring village of North Luffenham. It was opened in 1848 and closed in 1966. It has two pubs, a church and village hall. The Post Office finally closed in 2006. There are several farms and through the centre of the village runs a small stream. There is a ruined windmill near the outskirts of the village.

The Rev. Richards was vicar from 1908 to ?. Being a Greek scholar, pupils came from abroad to be taught at the Rectory. Among these was the son of the German Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Herman Goering, whose name was reputed to be scratched with a pin on one of the Rectory windowsills; this was in the period prior to the 1914 War.
