  • Tilton on the Hill Settlement Profile Introduction
    Tilton on the Hill Settlement Profile Introduction General Location: Tilton on the Hill (hereby referred to as Tilton), lies on the B6047 that connects Market Harborough (14 miles away) to Melton Mowbray (11 miles away). The village is in the north-east of Harborough District, sitting only 2 miles north of the A47. Tilton parish is one of the largest in the District and embraces numerous past and current settlements such as Halstead, Whatborough and Marefield. The settlement neighbours Skeffington to the south, Billesdon, Cold Newton and Lowesby to the west, Marefield and Owsten and Newbold to the north, with Loddington, Launde and Withcote lying to the east. Beyond its Harborough District neighbours, the parish is in close proximity to Melton Borough and Rutland County. The village centre is a conservation area (with the church, pub and Main Street constituting its centre) and the parish contains 5 scheduled ancient monuments. Such a rich history can be explained by Tilton’s location, at the crossroads of two ancient, pre-Roman pathways that date back to the Bronze Age. Furthermore, the village was recognised not only as ‘The Best Village in Leicestershire’ in the Calor Village of the Year Awards 2009, but also as the ‘Sustainability Village of the Year’ for the Midlands in the same year. An achievement that can be considered the fruits of ‘Tilton Green’s’ labour – a community centred on improving Tilton’s environmental record (discussed in Tilton Parish Council section). Lastly, Tilton is among one of the highest places in east Leicestershire, standing at 219 metres above sea level near the peak of the High Leicestershire area.

  • Flanagan's Running Club – Issue 31
    Flanagan's Running Club – Issue 31 Introduction The first rule of Flanagan's Running Club is everyone should be telling everyone they know about Flanagan's Running Club! After all, sharing is caring. Details of how to sign up is in the epilogue. There is no need to panic, there is no actual running involved, it is not a running club in that sense. The title is made up from extending the title of my favourite book – Flanagan’s Run by Tom McNab. So enjoy the read. On This Day – 10th February 1870 - The YWCA is founded in New York City. 1940 - Tom and Jerry make their debut with Puss Gets the Boot. 1996 - IBM supercomputer Deep Blue defeats Garry Kasparov in chess for the first time. It’s Feast of St. Paul's Shipwreck (Malta) Fenkil Day (Eritrea) 365 Reasons To Be Proud To Be A Londoner - Magical Moments in London's History What is the bestselling novel ever, in any language? Thankfully it’s not 50 Shades, but A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens (200 million copies sold). Dickens created some of the most memorable characters in literary history, including Oliver Twist, Ebenezer Scrooge, Mr Micawber, Miss Havisham and Uriah Heep. ‘Dickensian London’ has entered our imagination as a real place – not that you’d like to go there. And it was today in 1836 that Dickens’ first novel, The Pickwick Papers, was commissioned as a monthly serial. It was an immediate success, bringing the twenty-four-year-old writer instant fame.

According to a narrative concerning the early years of Holy Trinity priory in Aldgate, London, known only from fifteenth-century manuscripts, Bernard prior of Dunstaple, John prior of Launde (Landa), Geoffrey de Clinton, the (king’s) chamberlain (Gaufridus camerarius de Clinton), and others named, witnessed the gift of the Cnihtengild in London to Holy Trinity in that year. It is unsurprising that the priors of two recently founded Augustinian houses should witness a gift to Holy Trinity, thought to be the first Augustinian house in England. Their names were presumably taken from a contemporary deed or other record which has not been preserved (Hodgett, Cartulary of Holy Trinity, 168, no. 871; R. R. Sharpe, Calendar of Letter Books, C, 220). The king’s confirmation of the gift, 000, Regesta 1467, also witnessed by Geoffrey de Clinton, is apparently authentic and datable 1123 × 1127, so the narrative’s date of 1125 may well be accurate. Launde priory was founded at Loddington, ‘in cuius territorio abbatia fundata est’, according to Henry II’s general confirmation of 1155 × 1158 (H2/1456).

  • ORM the SERPENT: a Tale of Viking Leicestershire Michael Wood
    ORM THE SERPENT: A taLE OF VIKING LEICESTERSHIRE Michael Wood It is a real pleasure, and a great honour, to be elected President of the Society – an undeserved honour given such distinguished predecessors. Local history is the root of history, and Leicester is the home of local history. Almost at the start of British writing on local history, following Lambarde in Kent, came Burton’s Description of Leicestershire (which went through Ned Blunt’s printing shop at the same time as the First Folio).1 Burton planned no less than three village histories – Lindley, Theddingworth and Dadlington – and his notebooks are a still untapped source of material, including his transcripts of lost Leicestershire Hundred Rolls in the Bodleian Library which would be a very valuable and exciting task for a local historian with Latin, following the model of the Kent Hundred Rolls Project. Later, as local studies burgeoned the London printer John Nichols compiled perhaps the greatest local history ever written, The History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester, which is still a gold mine for the local historian. That impetus continued throughout the nineteenth century when this society was founded in 1855. Then from the 1930s came a new golden age (a long one – for we are still in it!) when Frank Attenborough brought the Devonian Bill Hoskins here (there are photos of young David counting hedgerows around Oadby!). From then on the Transactions contain a roll call of the great historians who have shaped every generation of students since and opened local studies to a far wider public, nationally and internationally.
