Coalville Times - May 1913
Coalville Times - May 1913 Friday May 2nd 1913 (Issue 1106) Local News Death of an old Whitwick Resident Mr James Harrison Hemsley By the death of Mr James Harrison Hemsley, which occurred at his home on Church Lane on Tuesday morning, Whitwick has lost one of its oldest and best known inhabitants, and one who was held in great esteem. The deceased, who was 71 years of age had recently taken up his abode in his new house in Church Lane, having just sold the property he had occupied for many years to Coalville Urban Council for an improvement at Pare’s Hill, and he was only ill for a little over a week, being in fact able to continue at his work up to a fortnight last Wednesday. He had been a carpenter at the Whitwick Colliery for many years. He was conscious right up the last and passed peacefully away. Deceased had been thrice married and leaves a widow, one son (Mr W Hemsley of North Street, Hugglescote) and five daughters for whom much sympathy will be felt. Mr Hemsley, though possessing certain characteristics which manifested themselves when any of his tender points were assailed, was a man of most genial temperament and popular with all acquaintances. He was a strong Liberal and was one of the founders of the Whitwick Liberal Club, being for many years chairman of the directors and we can recall with what pride he used to hold the position and conduct the annual meetings of the company. He also was frequently a delegate from Whitwick to the Liberal Association meetings in Loughborough.

Page 3 WOUNDED SOLDIER’S OUTING A JOLLY PARTY About 200 wounded and convalescent soldiers from the Base Hospital at North Evington, Lutterworth, Charnwood and Melton hospitals had a glorious time on Saturday. They were entertained by the employees of Messrs. Walker, Kempson and Stevens (Sileby Branch) and Mr J. W. Molt, (of Sileby). As usual, the motor car arrangements were under the able supervision of Mr C. Geoffrey Barradale, on behalf of the Leicestershire Automobile Club. An informal procession, which started from the Victoria Park Gates, was made through the town. As on previous occasions, the Tommies were heartily cheered and showers of cigarettes, fruit, chocolates, etc., went into the cars. At Sileby, large crowds of people greeted the soldiers. The village was handsomely decorated with banners, flags and festoons. In a field adjoining the Conservative Club, a large marquee and platform had been erected. Among those present were Col.

Fearn A Light in the Darkness – the Taper Burns of Donington le Heath Manor House By Alison Fearn, PhD candidate, University of Leicester Summary In 2016 the author undertook an in-depth survey and analysis of the medieval manor house of Donington le Heath in Leicestershire. During the investigation, a large number of markings and graffiti were recorded across the structure. Further analysis of the markings, their form, and their distribution led to the conclusion that most were ritual in nature and were created to add a significant layer of spiritual protection to vulnerable areas of the structure. Introduction The vast majority of the markings recorded at Donington le Heath are considered to be “ritual protection marks”; symbols that had an apotropaic function, which, in their simplest form were designed to ward off evil influences and misfortune.
