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.

Archaeology in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland 2008

Cooper Archaeological watching briefs which have produced no significant archaeological features or finds are listed at the end of the relevant county sections. In each case, the parish/site name is followed by the name of the organisation which undertook the fieldwork. For abbreviations see below p. iv. Some entries may relate to fieldwork undertaken before 2008 but not previously reported. LEICESTER All finds and records are deposited with LCMS under the accession number cited at the end of the entry. Humberstone, Manor Farm (SK 6285 0642) John Thomas Archaeological recording of a medieval windmill mound at Manor Farm, Humberstone was undertaken by ULAS in advance of development by Gateway College. Excavation revealed the mound to consist of two deposits of clay, both associated with a phase of the mound’s development. A re-cut ditch encircled the mound and originally acted as quarry for the mound soils. Beneath the mound, well-preserved timber cross-tree foundations survived in situ within a construction slot cut directly into the natural clay. Pottery recovered from the construction slot and primary fills of each ditch cut indicated a twelfth –thirteenth century period of use for the mill. Later pottery in the final ditch fills suggest the mill ditches had become largely in-filled by the seventeenth –eighteenth century. A6.1999. Leicester Abbey (SK 585 060) Andrew Hyam and Stephen Jones In June and July of 2006 and 2007, ULAS undertook a seventh and eighth season of training excavations at the site of Leicester Abbey, for students of the University’s School of Archaeology and Ancient History.

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. Deane, Coroner, who did not deem it necessary to hold an inquest. Whitwick Protection Association The annual dinner of the Whitwick and District Association for the Protection of Persons and Property, one of the oldest institutions in the district, having been formed nearly 70 years ago, was held on Monday at the Duke of Newcastle Inn, Whitwick.

LE11 3PR (01509-214711) IVY Hedera helix - A PLANT FOR ALL SEASONS Ivy, our only evergreen native climbing plant, is well known to butterfly enthusiasts as being the second generation food plant of the Holly Blue larvae but I suspect far fewer appreciate its importance to large numbers of moth species such as The Chestnut, Dark Chestnut, Dark Sword-grass, Tawny Pinion, Green-brindled Crescent, The Satellite and Red-line Quaker. It is also one of two main larval food plants of an attractive little geometer moth, the Yellow-barred Brindle, whose other main food plant is the Holly - like the Holly Blue! Ivy also provides important winter hibernating cover for The Brimstone, The Peacock and numerous other insect species. It gives protection to hibernating insects and roosting birds in the worst of the winter's weather when the countryside becomes a wind-swept, hostile place to all living organisms and when decent shelter can make all the difference between life and death to creatures fighting to stay alive and doing their best to avoid being blown into oblivion! Like many another conservation-minded person, I guess, I went through a phase in my life when I thought that Ivy growing on trees was a bad thing and should therefore be prevented by cutting IN THIS EDITION CLASSIFIED RECORDS Ÿ Mammals Page 2 Ÿ Birds Page 3 Ÿ Reptiles and Amphibians Page 7 Ÿ Fish Page 8 Ÿ Butterflies Page 9 Ivy © Stephen Woodward Ÿ Moths Page 13 through the stems - how dangerous a little Ÿ Beetles Page 15 knowledge can be!
