  • Coalville Times - May 1913
    Coalville Times - May 1913 Friday May 2nd 1913 (Issue 1106) Local News Death of an old Whitwick Resident Mr James Harrison Hemsley By the death of Mr James Harrison Hemsley, which occurred at his home on Church Lane on Tuesday morning, Whitwick has lost one of its oldest and best known inhabitants, and one who was held in great esteem. The deceased, who was 71 years of age had recently taken up his abode in his new house in Church Lane, having just sold the property he had occupied for many years to Coalville Urban Council for an improvement at Pare’s Hill, and he was only ill for a little over a week, being in fact able to continue at his work up to a fortnight last Wednesday. He had been a carpenter at the Whitwick Colliery for many years. He was conscious right up the last and passed peacefully away. Deceased had been thrice married and leaves a widow, one son (Mr W Hemsley of North Street, Hugglescote) and five daughters for whom much sympathy will be felt. Mr Hemsley, though possessing certain characteristics which manifested themselves when any of his tender points were assailed, was a man of most genial temperament and popular with all acquaintances. He was a strong Liberal and was one of the founders of the Whitwick Liberal Club, being for many years chairman of the directors and we can recall with what pride he used to hold the position and conduct the annual meetings of the company. He also was frequently a delegate from Whitwick to the Liberal Association meetings in Loughborough.

Fearn A Light in the Darkness – the Taper Burns of Donington le Heath Manor House By Alison Fearn, PhD candidate, University of Leicester Summary In 2016 the author undertook an in-depth survey and analysis of the medieval manor house of Donington le Heath in Leicestershire. During the investigation, a large number of markings and graffiti were recorded across the structure. Further analysis of the markings, their form, and their distribution led to the conclusion that most were ritual in nature and were created to add a significant layer of spiritual protection to vulnerable areas of the structure. Introduction The vast majority of the markings recorded at Donington le Heath are considered to be “ritual protection marks”; symbols that had an apotropaic function, which, in their simplest form were designed to ward off evil influences and misfortune.

  • A Lost Leicestershire Industry Pp.34-41
    A LOST LEICESTERSHIRE INDUSTRY by J. A. Daniell The author is indebted to Mr. John Colledge, of Whitwick, who has generously allowed his notes to be quoted, and to Mr. William Corah, of the Coalville Times, whose comments on the subject have stimulated local interest. INTRODUCTION Of all the minor industries of Leicestershire in the nineteenth century it must be true to say that Bauble-making is one of the least known but by no means the least interesting. A search through the old Directories will reveal the official name 1 "Spar Ornament Manufactory", but among the few surviving old folk whose fading memories recall the "good old days" in Whitwick, Thringstone and Coleorton it must be "Bawbles" (sic) and as such they will be referred to in this brief account. The word "Bauble" was used locally to define an object which was ornamental but had no particular use. It is true that many of them were made to fulfil a functional purpose but they were, nevertheless, intended for display on the mantelpiece rather than for use in the kitchen cupboard. It is o.f course well known that alabaster has been quarried at Chellaston in Derbyshire since medieval times and it was from these same quarries that the Leicestershire bauble-makers obtained their "spar". (The word "alabaster" was not recognised in the industry.) It was delivered to them in large blocks transported by horse and cart, a distance of about 12 miles by road. A local industry is usually sited in a particular place either because the raw material is at hand or because there is a steady demand in the district for the goods produced.

    Coalville Times – November 1913 Friday November 7th 1913 (Issue 1133) Local News Public Notices Samuel W. Billings, of 65 Leicester Road, Whitwick, do hereby give notice that I will not be responsible for any debts contracted by my wife, Bertha Billings, in Whitwick, or surrounding villages after this date: November 4th 1913 (signed) Samuel W. Billings. Stack Fire near Coalville Shortly after ten o’clock on Wednesday night, the Coalville Fire Brigade received a call to a stack fire off Pickering Wood Lane, in the parish of Whitwick. Captain Elsworth and his men promptly responded and it was found that a large stack, containing 14 or 15 tons of hay belonging to Mr S. Topliss, was well alight. Some difficulty was experienced in getting a water supply, the hose having to be taken across fields, but the efforts of the brigade were successful in saving a good part of the stack. The brigade were engaged until about half past nine yesterday morning. Boy’s Death The death occurred somewhat suddenly on Tuesday morning about 7.30 of George Arthur Parker, aged 4 years and six months, the son of Chas. Hy. Parker, a carter, of Leicester Road, Whitwick. He had not been well for a day or two, but his death was quite unexpected. The facts were reported to the Mr H. J.
