Kibworth & District Heritage Society
The newly formed Kibworth & District Heritage Society, held their latest meeting in the newly opened Kibworth Community Library. Just under 40 people attended a talk by retired solicitor John Tillotson called, ‘Kibworth’s National School: Educational and Legal Background and Kibworth C of E Old Controlled Voluntary School Trust.’ A very long title for a talk, however, it was an interesting and quite complex area.
John previously gave this talk back in 2013 to members of the now defunct Kibworth History Society. He brought his talk up to date with references to Michael Gove and the current Secretary of State for Education, Bridget Phillipson.
As most people will know the National (Junior) School building is now part of South Leicestershire Medical Group. It was at one time Dr Philip Bell and Partners’ base.
Free refreshments were served afterwards.
Details of the next meeting will be in the next issue of the Chronicle.
