Coston is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Garthorpe in the Melton district,[1] in the eastern part of Leicestershire, England. In 1931 the parish had a population of 74.[2]
The village's name means 'farm/settlement of Katr'.[3]
On 1 April 1936 the parish was abolished and merged with Garthorpe.[4]
The parish church, dedicated to St Andrew, is thought to date back to the 13th century and was restored in 1846.[5]
