Distances were 330 and 500 yards but the track only survived one year. The racing was independent (not affiliated to the sports governing body the National Greyhound Racing Club) and was known as a flapping track, which was the nickname given to independent tracks. The Markfield Greyhound and Whippet Track was opened for greyhound racing on 3 January 1931 by the Old Coach & Horses Inn on Leicester Road. Markfield rests on Precambrian volcanic and sedimentary rocks, and the rare mineral diorite is sometimes called markfieldite because it is found in the village. The petition to prevent the housing development failed despite the Borough Council refusing the application (it was approved on appeal to the Secretary of State), and the last few houses have recently been completed. A petition to prevent such housing being built took place, arguing that the local primary school, public transport and other services could not cope with the large influx of new residents.

In 2009, a private contractor filed for permission to build a brand new housing estate by London Road. The former headquarters of Aggregate Industries (now under the Holcim company) was in Markfield and in the last few years a major expansion of the Bardon Hill Quarry into the parish of Markfield has begun creating a large extension which will expand the life of Bardon for another 40 years.

Markfield has a long association with the quarrying industry and has a particular type of granite, microdiorite named after it.

In 2012 Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council published an overview of Markfield conservation area. Markfield is within the LE67 postcode district. In the 2011 census the parish had a population of 5681. In the 1841 census its population was recorded at 1,203. Nearby places are Newtown Linford, Groby, Field Head, and Stanton under Bardon. The highest point in Markfield is shown on OS sheet 129 at 222 metres above sea level. It is to the south-east of Junction 22 of the M1, and to the south of the A50. A variant of this is still used as the name for the village primary school, Mercenfeld. The settlement dates back to at least the time of the Norman conquest and is mentioned in the Domesday Book under the name Merchenefeld. Markfield is a large village in both the National Forest and Charnwood Forest and in the Hinckley and Bosworth district of Leicestershire, England.
