In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Freaks Ground like this:
FREAKS-GROUND, an extra-parochial tract in Leicester district, Leicestershire. Pop., 7. Houses, 2.
The location is that shown on a 1902 large scale Ordnance Survey map of this part of Leicester (on-line at http://www.oldtowns.co.uk/Mapshop_Leics/Leicester_FreaksGround1902.htm, accessed 11/1/2011).
