  • Leesthorpe & Pickwell
    LEESTHORPE & PICKWELL Pickwell lies about thirteen miles north-east of Leicester on the northern edge of the uplands of East Leicestershire and adjoins the county boundary with Rutland. The ancient parish included the hamlet of Leesthorpe and had an area of 2,378 a., of which Leesthorpe accounted for about 750 a. (fn. 1) Pickwell became part of Somerby civil parish in 1936 (fn. 2) and was united with Somerby for ecclesiastical purposes in 1959. (fn. 3) Though on the edge of the uplands, much of the southern part of the parish, including the site of the village of Pickwell, is above 500 ft. and several hills exceed 600 ft. The ground falls to just over 300 ft. on the northern margin of the parish, in Leesthorpe, and the slope of the hills is dissected by several small streams which feed a tributary of the River Eye, in the vale to the north. One stream rises in Pickwell village and flows north to the site of Leesthorpe hamlet where it joins another which has crossed Pickwell from Somerby; further north the combined stream formed the eastern boundary of the parish. A third stream rises in Pickwell and flows into Whissendine (Rut.). The boundary of Pickwell parish was formed by a minor road on the north, by field boundaries and the streams already referred to on the east, and mainly by field boundaries on the south and west. The southern boundary ran only a little over 100 yds. north of Somerby village. The soil is partly light, partly clayey, overlying clay and Jurassic marlstone and limestone.

I know this because here in my study at 5:30pm I glanced out of the window and I can still see All Saint’s Church, the roof no longer shrouded by scaffolding. Spring is on the way. I know this because as I go round the parish I see snowdrops and crocuses begin to burst through the ground. Enough of all this musing, there are far more pressing issues affecting our parish.

  • THE ORIGINS of STILTON Richard Landy
    THE ORIGINS OF STILTON Richard Landy ‘When all seems lost in England, there is still Stilton, an endless after dinner conversation piece to which England points with pride.’ Robert Benchley he origin of Stilton cheese is a subject which has exercised people for more than two centuries. The view of the Stilton CheeseT Makers’ Association (SCMA) is that a blue-veined cream cheese was first made in the area around Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, soon after the enclosure of the old open fields. A number of named Leicestershire originators and locations have been proposed at different times and these have been repeated by many writers over the intervening years. While the SCMA – for example in its application for Protected Designation of Origin in 1996 and in their application for a Trademark in 1966 – has always asserted that the cheese was first produced in Leicestershire and was never produced in the village of Stilton and that moreover, that Stilton/Huntingdonshire could not have produced Stilton cheese because it lacked the cattle to support a dairy industry, we would take issue with these claims. The first literary references to Stilton cheese were made by William Stukeley, in his Itinerarium Curiosum of 1722, and by Daniel Defoe, when he visited the village in 1724 and declared it ‘A town famous for cheese’. To give these observations some flesh and bone, I have gathered the evidence presented here from historical documents and published texts. It is confined to seventeenth-, eighteenth- and nineteenth-century sources as little significant new information has been added since then.
