Please note that during the Burrough Parishes interregnum services may be subject to change. George Allsop. I and my children, Vic, Lynn and Nicky have been overwhelmed by the kindness and consideration that has been shown to us at this time of total heartbreak following the death of George. The cards of sympathy have poured through the door day after day, it has made me realise what a great impression George had made on so many lives. I want to say thank you to all my lovely loyal friends for all your support and love, as my grief at this time seems constant. We would also like to thank Revd David Harknett and Canon Malcolm Britton for their support which is carrying us through these difficult days. June Allsop 4 “telling the story of God's love” “Let the memory live again” (CATS) Three sisters, ages 92, 94 & 96, live in a house together. One night the 96-year-old runs a bath. She puts one foot in & pauses. She yells down the stairs, “Was I getting in or out of the bath?” The 94-year-old yells back, “I don’t know. I’ll come up & see.” She starts up the stairs & pauses. Then she yells out, “Was I going up the stairs or down?” The 92-year-old is sat at the kitchen table, listening to her sisters. She shakes her head, says “I sure hope I never get that forgetful”, and knocks on wood for good measure. “I’ll come up & help both of you”, she yells, “Just as soon as I've seen who’s at the door.” Yes, it's the season of “remembering” again. “Remember, remember, the 5th of November” obviously, but also Remembrance Sunday exactly a week later. An act of worship that explores the theme of memory (individual and collective) around issues of war & peace, loss & self-gift, memory & forgetting. Less well-known are All Saints' Day & All Souls' Day. The first celebrates men & women in whose life the church as a whole has seen the grace of God powerfully at work. We recall that 'holiness' may grow in ordinary, as well as extraordinary, circumstances. The second is more local & intimate, as we remember with thanksgiving those known to us more directly; those who gave us life or nurtured us in faith.

  • 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.
