When Rotherby School closed in the early 1970s, one of the senior citizens remarked that it had taken the heart out of village because the sound of children playing and the social gatherings around the school gate before and after school such made a positive contribution to village life. Frisby School is considerably bigger than it was when it first opened and pupils come from a wide area including villages like Hoby and Rotherby which lost their own schools long ago. It has a very good reputation and often “punches above its weight” when competing with larger schools. The Neighbourhood Plan is a hot topic in the village at present particularly because of the increasing number of houses the Borough Council wishes to allocate to the village and the understandable readiness of landowners to offer land for building before the Melton Local Plan is finalised. It is difficult to predict what the village will look like in, say, 20 years’ time. By then, the dust should have settled and newcomers will move into the village as it is configured then, with little knowledge of what it is like now except through local reminiscences and occasional displays of old photographs at village events. I understand there is only a handful of residents (at the last count under 10 people) over the age of 70 who were born and brought up in the village and still live here. In their early years, I wonder if they ever envisaged the huge effect the construction of Hall Orchard Lane, Ash Way and Oak Way with a new school on a green field site would have. The residents of Rotherby Lane, among others, must have had considerable reservations as the plans emerged. Frisby has done well in the past when it has entered competitions. On more than one occasion it has been the “best village” in the county not just as a result of its appearance but also its community spirit. It has the best of all worlds, small enough to recognise that you are living in the countryside and large enough to support the shop/post office, school, pre-­‐school, pub and various interest groups and sports clubs. As demographics change, it may well be beneficial for and the sake of survival prospering of village institutions to offer new opportunities for young families to share the joys of living in the countryside which many of the older residents enjoyed when they first came here with their young families. There are some huge challenges being met at present both in Frisby and in the Hoby, Rotherby, Ragdale and Brooksby Neighbourhood anning Pl Process. 22 CommunityCommunity MonthlyMonthly GetGet--TogethersTogethers Frisby Frisby Friendship Friendship Club Club (Frisby (Frisby Village Village Hall) Hall) on on the the first first Thursday Thursday of of each each month from month from 10.30am 10.30am to to 12 noon. 12 noon.

  • Archaeology in Leicestershire and Rutland 2001
    Leic.Arch. Sept 2002 11/10/02 7:55 AM Page 81 Archaeology in Leicestershire and Rutland 2001 Note. Archaeological watching briefs which have produced no significant archaeological features or finds are listed at the end of the relevant sections below. In each case, the parish/site name is followed by the name of the individual or organisation that undertook the fieldwork. For abbreviations, please see above, p.iv. Some entries relate to fieldwork undertaken before 2001, but not previously reported. LEICESTER ABBEY Leicester Abbey (SK 584 060) James Meek and Richard Buckley In July and August 2001, University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) undertook a second training excavation in Abbey Grounds, Abbey Park, Leicester, for second-year students of the School of Archaeology and Ancient History, Leicester University. The Abbey Grounds lie to the west of the River Soar, and contain the excavated plan of Leicester Abbey, one of the wealthiest Augustinian houses in the country, together with the ruins of Cavendish House, a mansion of the 16th-17th century. The fieldwork concentrated on Cavendish House, although trenches were also examined within the chapter house of the abbey. Cavendish House Although most of the abbey buildings, including the church, were razed to the ground within a few years of the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538, the main gatehouse, boundary walls and farm buildings survived. Under the ownership of the Hastings and Cavendish families in the 16th and 17th centuries, the gatehouse became a domestic residence and underwent many structural modifications. It was burnt down in 1645 during the English Civil War and in the 18th and 19th centuries the ruined shell was further reused for different phases of farmhouse buildings.

It brings together the needs and hopes of local people and the organisations that work in the borough into a shared vision. The vision explains where we want to be. We want to enhance the quality of life for everyone in the borough of Melton to achieve a sustainable, prosperous and vibrant community…. a place where people want to live, work and visit. The strategy explains how we can all help to achieve this vision. Partnerships, organisations and the community have achieved a great deal in the borough of Melton. Most local people think that Melton is a good place to live, but there are still things that can be improved and this strategy can help to co-ordinate actions and carry them through the current decision-making processes.
