Hungarton (or Hungerton) is a small village in the county of Leicestershire, England. It is about 10 miles (16.1 km) north-east of Leicester and 13 miles (21 km) south-west of Melton Mowbray. The village is mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book as Hungretone.
The layout of the village of Hungarton follows that of the model village built between 1764 and 1776 by Shuckbrugh Ashby the then owner of nearby Quenby Hall. There are a few cottages that pre-date these houses and many houses have been built since.
The village has a church, a village hall, a small stream and a Millennium Green. It also has a pub called "The Black Boy". Stilton cheese was first produced in a dairy in the grounds of Quenby Hall.
The Anglican Church of St John the Baptist is part of a group benefice with Keyham, Billesdon, Goadby and Skeffington. A service is held there twice a month.
The parish of Hungarton covers over 4000 acres (16 km²) of land. and includes the three estates of Quenby Hall, Baggrave and Ingarsby as well as the village.
Well let me tell you a story of Hungry Town
Where the little old ... kiss the ground
I got my hat and a dollar bill
Lord I feel so hungry I'm feeling ill
Well Hungry Town people got nothin to eat
They're scratching the dirt trying to plant the seed
When night time comes it's time for bed
Well now I gotta fight just to lay my head
Well it's a Hungry Town
Where people kiss the ground
And the high eagle
That's where the feeling goes
There's a world out there
Where people just don't care
About what's going down
Right here in Hungry Town
