SIBBERTOFT (St. Helen), a parish, in the union of Market-Harborough, hundred of Rothwell, N. division of the county of Northampton, 3 miles (N. E.) from Welford; containing 437 inhabitants. The parish is on the borders of Leicestershire, and comprises 2021 acres of land: the river Welland rises in the garden of the incumbent.

The living is a vicarage, formerly annexed to that of Welford, but now separated and valued in the king’s books at £6. 4. 9½.; the vicarial tithes have been commuted for £330, with a glebe of 45 acres; and tithes belonging to the Bishop of Oxford, who is patron of the living, for £155, with 5½ acres.

The church is a plain structure in good repair, and consists of a nave, chancel, north aisle, south porch, and tower: the elaborate rood-loft, which existed at the close of the last century, has disappeared, with the exception of a small remnant over the priest’s door. There is a place of worship for Wesleyans. A spot called Castleyard is supposed to be the site of an ancient castle.
