It will not come as a great surprise to read that there has not been as much going on in our Church building this year as usual. However, as you will discover, the Church has not been idle. Members of our Church community have been sharing the love of God within the community and bearing witness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The UK went into National Lockdown on 23rd March and I immediately looked for ways to lead the congregation in worship. Thanks to the power of the conferencing app Zoom, apart from just one Sunday (29th March), we have been able to gather together online every Sunday since. We have also been able to worship together each day with an online service of Morning Prayer, occasionally for Compline, and on various other special occasions throughout the year. We have also held online Bible Studies and Quiz nights and even our PCC meetings and staff meetings have taken place online. Nearly all of our weddings for 2020 were postponed causing heartache for many couples - but we have been able to support them through this time with regular phone and email contact. Church members immediately began caring for their neighbours and offering help where it was safe and possible to do so – and this is still continuing and ongoing. The good spring weather and ‘The rule of 6' meant that some people gathered safely in gardens to fellowship and help to take care of one another. Church members have helped to coordinate regular collections of food for the Soar Valley Community Food Project and this has proved to be a real lifeline for those hit hardest by the economic downturn. As you read this report, you will see that the core work of the Church has continued. My thanks must go to the staff team, Church officers, PCC members and all our volunteers (you know who you are) for all that you have done to ensure that the Word of God continues to be preached and the love of God continues to shine from his Church even in these dark times. God bless you all, Colin Resch. 3 Treasurer’s Financial Review - 2020 Accounts What a year 2020 has been a very difficult year in many ways owing to the coronavirus pandemic and not surprisingly this has had some effect on our finances. However, despite this we are fortunate to have a good core of regular givers and this has enabled us to meet all our commitments and our balances have held up surprisingly well. RECEIPTS Total receipts on the General Fund were £41208 of which £27948 was unrestricted planned giving and receipts from collections at services amounted to £1014. Gift Aid recovered totalled £8900. Marriage and Burial fees income for the year was £1534.Investment income for the year totalled £553. Obviously, things like collections at services and marriage and burial fees are substantially down from 2019 due to the lack of both regular services in church and weddings and funerals. Receipts on the Designated accounts totalled £7336 of which £4210 was a refund of VAT claimed from LPOW Scheme relating to the QI work carried out in 2019. A donation of £885 was received from the Men’s Club Christmas carol singing 2019 plus our share of the Ride & Stride money (£540) raised by those parishioners who took part in September 2019. The current balance in the Fabric fund is £34297 and the remaining designated account balances are as shown in the financial statements. We have one restricted fund which is The Bell Restoration Fund which has almost drawn to a close following successful completion of all the work, A small grant of £356 was claimed from the LPOW scheme in respect of VAT paid on the work to the clock. EXPENDITURE Total expenditure for the year on the General Fund amounted to £44579. Our Parish Contribution for the year was £33000. General Church running expenses were £6816 and this included insurance premium of £2437 with utility bills totalling £2998. The net result for the year on the General Fund was a deficit of £3371. 4 Expenditure on the various Designated accounts totalled £7061. Much of this was accounted for by the repairs to the North porch roof and resealing of the chancel floor. Our Mission Giving and donations for the came to over £2200 and included donations to CMS and The TAP fund of £500 each plus smaller donations to various other charities including the YMCA and The Royal British Legion, Friends of Launde Abbey and Friends of the Cathedral. We also donated £500 to Rev Colin towards his sabbatical expenses. Also the successful Snowdrop festival raised sufficient funds to enable us to donate £250 each to Hope Against Cancer and to the Swithland School charity project CAMFED. The net result for the year on the designated accounts was an excess of expenditure over income of £998. The Bell Restoration Fund saw expenditure of £1659 which was mainly spent on the reinstatement work to the clock following the completion of work on the bells. The net result for the year shows an overall deficit of £4369 on last year’s figures. Our combined monetary assets totalled £137061 at the year end. Please see the Financial Statements. Reserves Policy It is the PCC Policy to try to maintain a balance of unrestricted funds in the General Fund which equates to at least 6 months and if possible 12 months of unrestricted expenditure. This would be a maximum of £50000 and although currently our reserves are in excess of this figure the PCC are mindful that we continue to lose regular givers, our balances are diminishing year on year and collections at services will continue to decline in the foreseeable future. It is hoped the plans to refurbish the kitchen, toilet and office areas from the Fabric Fund will come to fruition this year. Copies of the full accounts’ breakdown are available on request from the treasurer. The full accounts were independently examined by Mrs Helen Harrison FMAAT on 9th March 2021 and presented to and approved by the PCC on 17th March 2021 St Leonard’s Church PCC Swithland. 5 6 7 Electoral Roll Report The Church Electoral Roll has been renewed this year in keeping with the requirements of the Church Representation Rules and there are 78 members on the roll. There have been no requests from people attending Zoom services on line to join the electoral roll. Ali Wright Electoral Roll Officer Churchwarden’s General Report What a year! I don't feel I can give a very comprehensive report this year obviously due to the Covid pandemic restrictions imposed on all churches. Analysis of the entries in the Church Service Register records that only twenty-four Sunday Services were held in 2020, plus a service on Ash Wednesday and an evening service following the very successful Snowdrop Festival in February. Included in one of the services was a Baptism, two funeral services were held in church, two Burial of Ashes were recorded and only two weddings took place. Friday Club was only able to meet on five occasions prior to lockdown. Throughout the year due to the restrictions no school services were held in church. The school continued to be involved in designing the Christmas Card. Reports on the Health and Safety Policy, Safeguarding, and Church Fabric have been submitted separately and forwarded to the PCC secretary. Once access is allowed, Revd Colin Resch has reported that a planned revision of the Churchyard Plan will have to be undertaken. It is still my wish that once we are able, to re-organise the Vestry in a hope that it can be cleared and used more efficiently. I will end this report and thank you all for your help and support during this difficult year. Sally Allen Churchwarden 8 Church Fabric Report Although the church building has not been used for services for part of the year the yearly maintenance was completed. The electrics have been PAT tested, the fire extinguishers have been checked, the clock has been serviced as has the boiler, with no issues highlighted. The building was checked weekly as per our insurance requirements whilst not being used for Sunday services and other activities. After the Church was flooded in October 2019 research has been done to understand why it happened and to endeavour to prevent it happening again. An application is with the Diocesan DAC (Diocesan Chancellor and the Archdeacons) for professionally fitted permanent flood defences. Other avenues of defence are also being explored. The application is ongoing. There is some ongoing replacement and upgrading of sensor lights and flood lights in the churchyard due to failing units. Faculty Applications: Bates Gravestone Removal/Replacement Ref:2019-045576 Flood Defences Application Ref:2020-052824 Thank You Plaque Ref:2021-057523 Plans to reorder the kitchen/office space and toilet are in the discussion period.

  • Quorn Walks – No.1 Buddon Brook and Swithland Reservoir
    Quorn Walks Quorn Walks – No.1 Buddon Brook and Swithland Reservoir This is one of the set of six 9 km (5.5 miles) Pubs at start and end. Cafés on route at check points 3 and 4. Terrain: Start to Checkpoint 1 - Flat paved, Checkpoint 1 to 2 – Uneven, muddy during wet weather, Checkpoint 2 to 4 - Paved hilly. Checkpoint 4 to Finish - Flat paved, Bus stops: Regularly spaced along the route from start to Checkpoint 1 (No.154) and from Check point 4 to finish (No.127). Starting at Quorn Cross, the centre and main crossroads of the village, set off along Meeting Street. Beyond the award-winning Memorial Garden and the flood barrier to the left flows Buddon Brook, whose course we will be following all the way upstream to Swithland Reservoir. The many items of interest along Meeting Street and then Chaveney Road are explained in walk 5 in this series. In this case we walk about half a mile before turning left and joining the public right of way at the footpath sign just past Elms Drive (Checkpoint 1 on the map) Soon after turning left, we pass the site of the former Chaveney’s Water Mill (also called Quorn Water Mill, now Mill Farm). From the 16th to the 19th century, when Swithland Reservoir was built, a mill race from the brook was the motive power for this corn mill; the actual site of the old millwheel is not visible from the public footpath. Just after we enter the brookside path itself, you can see the remains of an ancient moated site beyond the far bank.

  • Archaeology of Barrow Upon Soar the Archaeology of Barrow Upon Soar
    TheArchaeology of Barrow upon Soar The Archaeology of Barrow upon Soar Barrow is renowned for its marine fossils, plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs. These date to the Jurassic period, 150-200 million years ago, long before man existed. The fi rst evidence for man in and around Barrow is from the Palaeolithic period (Old Stone Age) which started 800,000 years ago. Archaeology is defi ned in the dictionary as “the study of man’s past by scientifi c analysis of the material remains of his cultures” whilst history is “the discipline of recording and interpreting past events”, implying the use of documentary evidence. So what archaeological evidence is there? Evidence of the past comes in many forms:- • Stones, mostly fl int used as tools • Pottery • Metalwork & coins • Wooden items • Leather, furs and skins • Earthworks and buildings There are also hints in the landscape and vegetation that can suggest buried features such as pits, ditches and buried stonework from walls or foundations. To protect the remaining archaeology from damage or abuse some of the locations in this document are kept deliberately vague. If you want to know more please ask. Prehistory Prehistory covers most of our past from 800,000 in the Palaeolithic to 2000 years ago at the end of the Iron Age. Few items remain as buildings and many tools were made from wood or leather/skins which have not survived. Pottery is fi rst seen in Britain from the Neolithic (New Stone Age) which starts about 6000 years ago. However, in Barrow, pottery only survives from the Bronze Age.

AH. lqAo FRON'i'ISPIECE FOREWORD OF the many interesting features which give the area known as Charnwood Forest its peculiar charm, its almost unique geological character has a notable place. Among the great variety of rocks forming the foundation of the Charnian landscape is the vein of workable slate which occurs in the volcanic rocks of the southern half of the Forest. These deposits of slates have been known for many centuries; there is a strong reason to believe that the Romans worked them, as they worked so many of our British minerals, while the size and depth of the quarries at Swithland give clear proof of the extent to which they have been worked in more recent times. The main seat of the slate industry was at Swithland, where, in the middle of that part of the wood which was purchased by the Leicester Rotary Club and entrusted to the Bradgate Park Trustees, there are two great hollows in the ground with vertical sides and half filled with water. It was mainly from these pits that the raw materials of the industry with which Mr.
