In pictures: The centre of England
The geographic centre of England is in a paddock at Lindley Hall Farm, owned by Charles and Margaret Farmer.
However many English people still believe the country's centre is in Meriden, 11 miles (18 kilometres) away.
The farm was hit by foot and mouth last year, resulting in the destruction of all its cows
