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.

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]
