thumb|upright=1.4|All Saints' Church, Lubenham Lubenham is a village and civil parish approximately west of Market Harborough, in the Harborough district in the south of Leicestershire, England. At the 2021 Census, the parish had a population of 860. The first National Hunt Chase Challenge Cup was held in Lubenham, in the grounds of what is now Thorpe Lubenham Hall. Lubenham parish extends north to Gartree and west to Bramfield Park. The village appears in four entries in the Domesday Book of 1086.

==Toponymy== Attested in the Domesday Book as 'Lobenho', the name derives from 'Luba's or Lubba's spur(s) of land'. 'Lubba' being the name of the individual who once lived on the land and 'hōh' meaning 'hill-spur'. At some point, the suffix 'hōh' developed into the modern suffix 'ham' which is a phenomenon that has appeared in other English place-names.
