Hallaton and Allexton, with Horninghold, Tugby, East Norton, and Slawston HEXAD September 2020 The Newsletter for the United Benefice of Hallaton and Allexton, with Horninghold, Tugby, East Norton, and Slawston Goodbye It’s really hard to think that my two years here in the benefice has come to an end but my time here finishes on the 30th of August. I have loved being with you but am now looking forward to our new home together, not very far away from here and will no doubt see you all again very often. It has been hard to know how to mark my leaving in these difficult times. The original plan had been to have a benefice service in the morning at 10.30 and a Deanery service at 4pm in the afternoon, being the 5th Sunday of the month. However, like most plans, we have had to re-think. I would, therefore, like to invite any of you who wish to come to an Open Garden event here in Church Langton. Obviously Covid restrictions prevent us from being as hospitable as we would have liked; so please bring along a chair and your own picnic. The Deanery service will be by Zoom at 4pm on the 30th. Priest in Charge: Rev Canon Cynthia Thomson 01858 545847 07740433871 [email protected] www.ourbenefice.btck.co.uk Open Garden 30th August 2020 10am—3pm 3 Stonton Road, Church Langton (Opposite the school) All Welcome Zoom Services in the Hallaton Benefice from Sunday 6th September the Sunday Zoom services in the Hallaton benefice will be at 11am. Cynthia’s new address: 15 Oaklands Park Market Harborough Leicestershire LE16 8EU Hopefully I will be able to take the same phone number LAUNDE DEANERY SERVICE Please note that this service will be held via Zoom on Sunday 30th August at 4 pm To attend please use the following link: https://leccofe.zoom.us/j/97040141560? pwd=cnlYSUptV1hPMXJ6RlhBaUROZEZ2Zz09 Meeting ID: 970 4014 1560 Passcode: 484557 Dialling in from your Landline or mobile: 0131 460 1196 and then follow the instructions All Welcome Faithful God, you are the hope of all the oppressed, and the source of freedom for those held captive. Make us strong to witness to your liberating power, in generosity of life and in humility of spirit, that all the world may delight in your goodness. Amen. Message from Launde Deanery On 30 August, we say a sad farewell to Rev. Canon Cynthia Thomson who retires to Market Harborough with her husband, Andrew. We are enormously grateful to Cynthia for stepping in to lead and support us over the last 2 ½ years. She has immersed herself in the life of all our villages. She knew it was going to be an adventure but I don’t think she expected to find Andrew. It was really special for us all to be able to share in the joy of their wedding in January this year and particularly poignant that none of us can possibly have expected that this uplifting and happy occasion would be the last time we would all gather from across the benefice with Cynthia as our priest. Be assured that our churches all remain open and ready for “business”. In light of the current situation, all appointments, re-organisations and such are on hold across the Diocese (and indeed across the country). Rev. Jayne Lewis will be supporting our benefice in the interim with assistance from Rev. Alison Booker as our Area Dean as well as the clergy, readers and lay workers from across the Launde Deanery. We hope to welcome Cynthia and Andrew back to our benefice as friends and guests in the years to come. Victoria Buckingham Co-chair Launde Deanery Hallaton The church continues to be open daily for private prayer. Once it becomes possible to join together as a community again, we have an exciting plan for a number services around the year to celebrate, remember and give thanks together. Like all charities and public places, the continued restrictions are placing huge pressures on our finances. We have had no income from collections or fundraising events since March but our costs remain fixed. If you feel able to help financially in keeping the church open and viable, please let Sarah Hazelton know ([email protected]). The investigations to begin the re-instatement of the crypt began in August. The PCC are enormously grateful for Denis Kenyon and John Morison for leading this project Hallaton Crypt Reinstatement Project The first stage in an exciting plan to restore our church’s early mediaeval crypt has received approval from the Diocesan authorities. The plan was devised by Denis Kenyon and John Morrison, and is supported by the Parochial Church Council, The main scheme of reinstatement of the crypt’s mediaeval rib-arched roof is an important first part of a bigger plan to subsequently present the historical information discovered about Hallaton having been a place of pilgrimage in the 13th to 16th centuries. There is a wealth of information to present to a visitor—The recent excavations of St Morrell’s Chapel on Hare Pie Bank—interestingly on the exact spot where Bottle Kicking starts; the uncovering of the skeletons; the DNA tests which prove that they were from the West Country and other far regions; that all were in ill health and also importantly the finding of the will dated 1532 of the Rev Francis Butler, Rector of Hallaton, bequeathing money to a colleague to “go on pyllgramage to our blessyd Lady of Wailssyngham and to ouer lady off Oldwell to Saunt Elyn off Langham to Saunt Augusten off Bestow & to Sant Mawrell off Hallaton”. The first stage is to dig two small archaeological test pits in the church. One where a new internal stairs will descend and the other outside in the churchyard by the original entrance to the crypt. This is being carried out by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) supervised by their director Vicki Score, and aided by the Hallaton Field Work Group. We will then need to apply for permission to carry out the main works of new access and restoration as well as the provision of light, power and information panels. It is our intention to keep the village fully informed and involved all along. Part of the reinstatement will be the respectful reburial of the mediaeval skeletons of the pilgrims in a special chamber in the floor of the crypt. This is supported by ULAS who have the skeletons in their keeping at present. It is a hugely ambitious project but we have a first class architect and the support of all the heritage special in- terest groups who have been consulted and are very much in favour. This is how the entrance to the crypt will look: East Norton All Saints is open and welcomes anyone wishing to partake in private prayer. We have continued to keep the churchyard tidy and mown despite there being no services and would be grateful for any contributions towards the cost of mowing and hedge trimming. Our application to Harborough District Council for the removal of two Western Red Cedars, that have now outgrown their space and are undermining the church, has been approved. We will now approach the Diocese for consent. Allexton The Churches Conservation Trust have carried out a risk assessment at St Peter’s Church and they have put in place measures to support Covid-19 Secure visiting. The Visitors Book and information booklets about the Church have been removed. The Church will be open for Ride and Stride on 12th September Horninghold As we gathered near the large chestnut tree in East Norton Road for our first Singalong at the start of April, we noticed that the buds on the tree were just beginning to open—five months on and the first conkers are now falling! August has given Horninghold causes for celebrations—on Sunday 16th a socially distanced BBQ was arranged to celebrate two special birthdays and the fantastic way the community has coped throughout lockdown. That spirit was much in evidence as, at the appointed hour of the street party, the lightning flashed, the thunder roared and the rain poured incessantly but we carried on regardless and smiled, as everyone, dogs, children and adults, became completely soaked. A good time was had by all and a smiling group photo, complete with an array of umbrellas, is a memento of the occasion. On August 22nd Eleanor (Eli) Richards of Horninghold and George Crosbie Dawson of Great Barrington, Gloucester, are being married in a small family service at Hambleton. We wish them every happiness. Our delayed APCM is being held on Wednesday 19th August in the churchyard. We were honoured to hear that the ashes of Miss Ruth Catto, who lived in the village many years ago, are being interred in the churchyard on 25th August, at her request. Slawston We are very sorry that Cynthia’s official time with us will end at the close of August, but we wish her and Andrew every happiness in their life together, and are glad that they have chosen to make their future home in Little Bowden, not far away. Cynthia always loyally supported our village functions and we hope to see them both in future when we can make plans for village events again. Many people in Slawston have been able to get away on holiday, mostly in the UK, which feels quite adventurous given our limited travel during the last few months. A granddaughter of Jean and Alec Marlow had planned to marry here this month but due to the restrictions on gatherings she and her fiancé have postponed their wedding until August 2021; fingers crossed that they will be able to go ahead then.

  • Archaeology in Leicestershire and Rutland 1993
    Archaeology in Leicestershire and Rutland 1993 EXCAVATIONS: INTERIM REPORTS The medieval Trent bridges at Lynden Cooper and Susan Ripper Hemington Fields, Castle Donington (SK 459 302) Since the excavation of the Norman mill dam in 1985 by the Leicestershire Archaeological Unit, continued surveillance of the quarry has been undertaken by Dr. C.R. Salisbury (illus.l; see below p.179) . In August 1993 the Leicestershire Archaeological Unit was informed of two substantial timber and stone structures, the pier bases for a bridge. These were revealed during overburden stripping prior to gravel extraction. Subsequent excavation revealed two further pier bases for the bridge, provisionally dated to the mid 13th century. As excavations were being completed on this structure yet more massive timbers were uncovered at the quarry face, some 50m to the north-east. A second programme of excavation was therefore undertaken which revealed an even earlier bridge, of 11 th/12th century date. A third bridge structure was also found, located between the latter bridges, but had to be recorded under watching brief conditions. This structure has a provisional early 13th century date. After three months of excavation and two months of watching brief it is now possible to give some indication of the findings (illus. 2). The 11th/12th century bridge (illus. 2-5) The earliest bridge identified, incorporated the remains of two partially collapsed pier bases, a double row of posts (which may represent a second phase of bridge) and a collapsed trestle structure. The north-western extent of the bridge was quarried away during gravel extraction in 1991, although four upright posts were recorded which undoubtedly represent the continuation of the double row of posts (see below p.160).

  • THE LOST CHAPEL of ST MORRELL, HALLATON Vicki Score and John Morison
    THE LOST CHAPEL OF ST MORRELL, HALLATON Vicki Score and John Morison Every Easter Monday the small village of Hallaton in East Leicestershire is host to a strange rural custom – the ‘Hare Pie Scramble and Bottle Kicking’. This is a battle between Hallaton and the neighbouring village of Medbourne. The tradition is ancient, dating back to at least the seventeenth century. Recent research has revealed that Hare Pie Bank – the hill above the village on which the bottle kicking battle starts – has a much older history. Documentary research and excavations by the Hallaton Field Work Group have uncovered evidence that not only was the hilltop used by the Romans, but also a medieval chapel and burial ground, dedicated to St Morrell, once stood on the bank overlooking the village. ST MORRELL, HALLATON’S LOST SAINT John Morison An article written in 1931 on Leicestershire’s wells and springs mentions a well in the parish of Hallaton (Richardson 1931, 46). Further research among other documentary sources revealed references to both the well and St Morrell in the seventeenth-century Glebe Terriers (Morison 2000, 199). St Morrell probably represents St Maurilius of Angers, France, who was born in AD 363, the son of the Roman senator of Alpine Gaul. Maurilius went into the church, studied at Milan and Tours under St Martin, became a Benedictine monk and for many years lived as a hermit at Challonne sur Loire. Later, in Anjou on the Loire, he was ordained as the fourth bishop of Angers. Legends tell that at some time during his 30 years as bishop he visited England, where he worked as a gardener for an English noble.

  • 10–14 Churchgate: Hallaton's Lost Manor House?
    12 10–14 Churchgate: Hallaton’s Lost Manor House? Nick Hill This building, a high quality timber-framed structure dating to the late fifteenth century, has been the subject of a recent programme of detailed recording and analysis, accompanied by dendrochronology. It is located on a prominent site, just opposite the church, at the centre of the village of Hallaton in south-east Leicestershire (OS ref: SP787966). The building, of six bays, had timber-framed walls with heavy close-studding throughout. Three bays originally formed an open hall, with a high arch-braced roof truss of an unusual ‘stub tie beam’ form, a rare Midlands type associated with high status houses. Although this was an open hall, the absence of smoke blackening indicates that there must have been a chimneystack from the beginning rather than an open hearth, an unusually early feature for the late fifteenth century. The whole timber-framed structure is of sophisticated, high class construction, and contrasts strongly with other houses of the period in the village, which are cruck-built. It is suggested that, though subsequently reduced in status and subdivided into four cottages, it was once one of the two main manor houses of Hallaton. The location of this second manor house has been lost since it was merged with the other main manor in the early seventeenth century. Introduction The pair of cottages, now known as 10/12 and 14 Churchgate, stands on a corner site, at the junction of Churchgate with Hunts Lane, immediately to the north-east of Hallaton church. Externally, the building has few features of interest, with cement-rendered walls under a thatched roof (illus.

October Issue 157 HALLATON PARISH COUNCIL Hare Pie Newsletter, October Councillor Profile I have lived in Hallaton for 16 years and my husband has lived here on and off for most of his life with our three sons all being born here. All of our boys attended Hallaton Primary School where I enjoyed six years working as a school governor. I have also spent two years as a member of the Parochial Church Council. I am currently a trustee for the Church Restoration Trust and also worked with the previous Parish Council to secure the village’s defibrillator at the The Fox for which which I still help manage. The first months as a Parish Councillor have been a steep learning curve and I know we still have a way to go. I have been working on the HPC website to ensure that all the documentation is updated monthly and all of the Neighbourhood Plan information is available for everyone to see. I am really enjoying being part of a great team working hard to take Hallaton forward whilst maintaining and respecting its wonderful history and heritage. Miranda Roberts Boundaries and Budgets Please can we ask all villagers to check their boundaries as we have received some complaints about overgrown hedges, tree branches, ivy etc growing over footpaths and roads making it difficult to pass. Hallaton Parish Council will shortly be setting its budget for the next financial year and we would like to take this opportunity to ask if there are any projects being planned for next year which may require some financial contribution from the Parish Council.

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).
