    KEYHAM NEWS A Load of Rubbish I wanted to say a huge thank you to all those who turned out to do the litter picking on Sunday 12 March. I was overwhelmed to see 16 people and we were able to do far more than originally anticipated on roads surrounding Keyham. In all we collected 30 bags of rubbish which were then placed next to the bins outside the Village Hall. What a service from Harborough District Council who collected the very next day! Litter Pickers about to do battle on 12 March (see opposite and page 6) Diary Dates There are simply too many heroes to thank April: individually but I would like to give a special 4th Film Night Double Bill in Village Hall 7:30pm mention to Steve Bailey who not only joined in 10th Parish Meeting in Village Hall 7:30pm on the day and stayed long into the afternoon, 24th WI Meeting Keyham Village Hall 7:30pm but also did a second weekend’s worth on his 27th Vestry & PCC Meetings Keyham Church 7:30pm own, collecting 28 bags and loads of other strange items.

  • The Skeffingtons of Skeffington
    SKEPPINGTON HAU,—EAST FRONT THE SKEFFINGTONS OF SKEFFINGTON INTRODUCTORY NARRATIVE BY S. H. SKILLINGTON APPENDIX BY G. F. FARNHAM, F.S.A. The Skeffingtons of Skeffington Introductory Narrative By S. H. Skillington The small Leicestershire village of Skeffington, in the hun­ dred of East Goscote, is situated near the main road from Leicester to Uppingham, ten miles from Leicester, in a direction slightly south of east, and nine miles north-west of Uppingham. The villages immediately round it are Billesdon, Tilton, Loddington, Tugby and Rolleston, and the remains of Laund priory are about four miles away to the north-west. As Professor Hamilton Thompson has more than once told us, the medieval history of an English village can only be derived from the extant legal and official documents relating to its manorial lords and other owners of land within its bounds. The researches of Mr. Farnham show that Skeffington presents no exception to this general rule; for nearly all that is known about it has been culled from the records of the family that bore its name and were for many centuries its principal residents. By means of the docu­ mentary abstracts which form the second and more instructive part of this paper, we are able to trace the close connection with the village of successive generations of Skeffingtons, from the reign of Henry II to a date that is comparatively recent. Before doing this, however, we must say what we can of the tenurial conditions which existed there during the two centuries or so that followed the Norman Conquest.

  • Leicestershire Yeoman Families and Their Pedigrees by W
    I • LEICESTERSHIRE YEOMAN FAMILIES AND THEIR PEDIGREES BY W. G. HOSKINS, M.Sc. (Econ), Ph.D. Leicestershire Yeoman Families and their Pedigrees by W. G. Hoskins, M.Sc. (Econ.), Ph.D. I TRACING the pedigree of an ordinary yeoman family, and more people now alive in England are descended from the yeomen than from any other class, is one of the most fascinating pursuits conceivable. The old motives which led people to enquire into the past history of their families, and to trace their descent, are mostly gone: the desire to acquire a better descent than one really had, to go back to some noble ancestor of the same name; or the desire "to attach new names to old acres" as it has been so aptly described. Both these motives led searcrcers, or those who were employed by them, to make unjustifiable assumptions at critical points in the descent, to guess where one could not know, and (at the worst, though this was rare) to invent new data or to distort e:,,,.isting facts in order to establish a distinguished but false pedigree. But all this pretentious activity has disappeared, or nearly so, and has been replaced by a pure interest in the origin of one's family whatever it may have been. This being so, genealogy has become a much more scientific pursuit, in which every single statement is, or should be, supported by a verifiable reference to a record of some description, and in which assumptions are made only with the greatest reluctance and where the circumstantial evidence is very strong.
