The River Sence is a little river in Leicestershire, which is a tributary of the larger River Soar. It is one of two rivers in the county with the same name, the larger of the name being the River Sence in the very west of the county.
The River Sence can be traced eastwards up to the village of Billesdon, and then flows south west through Great Glen, Leicestershire, and then west (south of Wigston and South Wigston) until the confluence with the River Soar just to the west of Blaby.
In 1881, Sebastian Evans wrote that the usual names for this river were Billesdon Brook and Burton Brook.[1]
