Local people now have a greater say through the planning process about what happens in the area in which they live by preparing a Neighbourhood Plan that sets out policies that meet the need of the community whilst having regard for local, national and EU policies. The aim of this Neighbourhood Plan is to build and learn from previous community engagement and village plans and put forward clear wishes of the community regarding future development.

  • 'The Truth Sprang up First in Leicestershire': George Fox, 1624-1691 and the Origins of Quakerism1 by R.H.Evans
    'The truth sprang up first in Leicestershire': George Fox, 1624-1691 and the origins of Quakerism1 by R.H.Evans The tercentenary of Fox's death prompts a review of his part, both nationally and locally, in the beginnings of Quakerism. After a brief introduction the first section illustrates some of the qualities that made Fox a powerful missionary and a dedicated leader. The second section examines some current tendencies in Quaker historiography, with particular reference to the importance of missionary activity, the part of Fox in the Quaker leadership, and the value of his early work in the Midlands. The last section turns to the beginnings of Quakerism in Leicestershire and employs hitherto-unexplored evidence to show that the movement was more developed there in the 1650s than is currently recognized and, further, that there is reason to believe Fox's early missionary activity in the county bore lasting fruit. The older view that Quakerism began in Leicestershire is not without foundation. In commemorating the tercentenary of the death of George Fox in January 1691 we celebrate the life of a Leicestershire man who became one of this country's outstanding religious leaders, only parallelled among Englishmen by John Wesley, a century later. Fox did not enjoy the social and intellectual advantages of Wesley. Although his parents had a respected status in their village of Fenny Drayton his origins were lowly by the standards of the time. Though literate he grew up without any formal education and was apprenticed in his teens to a shoemaker and cattle-dealer. At the age of 19, as his Journal relates, 'At the command of God, on the 9th day of the 7th month 1643 I left my relatives.

  • Leicestershire Worthies1 the Squire De Lisle
    LEICESTERSHIRE WORTHIES1 The Squire De Lisle When asked to prepare my Presidential valedictory lecture, I pondered and discussed the approach with the late lamented Dr Alan McWhirr (1937–2010). We decided that it would be a good idea to present a short synopsis of some of our distinguished citizens and to give the talk the title Leicestershire Worthies. I undertook some preliminary research and found that we lacked many details of their lives and many of their portraits. Wherever appropriate I asked the help of my hearers and finally prepared a Curriculum Vitae for 29 people together with their portraits, with the sole exception of Joseph Cradock who is unfortunately still unpictured. The lecture was delivered on October 6th 2011 and I am very pleased that it is being published as I sincerely hope that there are amongst our members some who will be able to help fill the gaps, or even be able to provide better portraits of some of the Worthies. I hope this paper will stimulate further interest in the many and various strands of the history of our county. Squire Gerard De Lisle 1 This paper, entitled Leicestershire Worthies, was delivered by our President, Gerard De Lisle, in October 2011 in the final year of his Presidency. Squire De Lisle was our second three-year President. This paper is presented in the author’s preferred format of an illustrated catalogue. Jill Bourne Hon. Ed. Trans.

    Item No. 1 Application Reference Number P/20/1079/2 Application Type: Full Date Valid: 07/07/2020 Applicant: Mr M Fisher Proposal: Retention of use of building as warehousing/storage use (Use Class B8) without compliance with Conditions 2 and 3 of planning permission reference P/02/2587/2 relating to who can operate the site and the storage of goods on open areas. Location: Hoton Store Wymeswold Road Hoton Loughborough Parish: Hoton Ward: The Wolds Case Officer: Deborah Liggins Tel No: 07864 603401 This item is referred to Plans Committee at the request of Councillor Bokor who has a number of concerns regarding, lack of highway safety, lack of cyclist safety and, increase in large logistic HGV movements as the access only through the narrow village streets in Hoton & Wymeswold. She feels this would be an inappropriate development in open countryside which would change of visual landscaping from A6006. Description of the Site The application site is a former agricultural building which now operates as a warehouse/storage use, following the grant of planning permission under reference P/02/2587/2. The site is located approximately 1.3km from the centre of Hoton and is within countryside between Hoton and Wymeswold. The application building is a large permanent structure located 430m from and north of Wymeswold Road and which is accessed via a shared driveway which also serves rural dwellings. A separate access drive approximately 170m to the east serves the showman’s storage site and associated residential caravan ‘Hoton Park’ site to the south east of the application building.
