I remember my grandma telling me that her mum, Frances Hewerdine, came from beautiful Scalford and she was a real lady, and somewhere along the line Frances's parents had a dress shop. Sadly I don't know where Emma and John were buried, or I would take flowers. Does anyone else have memories along these lines to share? I would love to... [more]

I remember the inside of the Baptist Chapel as I attended regularly from the age of 5 until my early teens. A Reverand Exall and a one-armed man called Mr. Chapman were in charge. On Anniversaries they used to put staging up either side of the organ and I used to like to sit right at the very top.... [more]

My Abney ancestors originated in England and lived in Belvoir Castle. I live in Texas and on a trip to England, we were to tour Belvoir Castle. My mother had always been interested in genealogy but I had not had the time to delve into it. Her cousin had compiled a lovely book about the Abney family which I had not... [more]

I had the pleasure of living in Beechcroft since the day I was born in 1954, my parents and grandparents had bought the rectory, named a "White Elephant"as no one had lived in it for 4 years. During that time we had birthday parties on the front lawn, unless of course you were born in January. My parents loved to have... [more]

It was Dec 1965, and my sister Ellen Blackham and I sailed to England from Perth, Western Australia, to spend time with my sister Doris Whitby. Doris and her husband Roy had purchased The Old Rectory in the late 1950s. It was no longer required as a rectory and was therefore put on the market. I will never forget driving down... [more]

I now live in Australia but I have fond memories of going to the pictures at the hall and also being terrified when having to partake in the school plays at Christmas which were held in the hall.
My parents ran the Shell Sevice Station and Cafe for about four years (Gwen and Eric Simms) 1953-1957.
If there is anyone... [more]

Close to the road, the solid but impressive ashlar tower dominates the immediate street scene with its substantial angled buttresses and crocketted finials; these are not 15th-century, but were added in 1832, after the collapse of the original tower, by the local architect William Flint (1801-1862), whose specialism was Greek Revival. The body of the church is fairly run-of-the-mill with its four-bay... [more]

Castle Yard c1965. The Great Hall, built by Robert, Earl of Leicester around 1150, cannot compare with that of Oakham Castle of c1180, some twenty miles east of the city, as an example of Norman architecture; but as part of the extensive remains of Leicester Castle and its town defences, it is quite remarkable. Although the building has been pared down from its original aisled form, and has been provided... [more]

A picturesque view, whose general outlook has altered quite radically since 1955. St Paul's school to the left, dating from 1835 with its Tudoresque details and gable end bell-cote, has changed dramatically to become a residential property. The entrance door remains in situ, but the stone mullion and transom windows have gone in favour of unattractive modern replacements; strangely, the bell-cote now resides in... [more]
