Vera Beryl was born to James William and Vera Emily Weston; a little sister for Maurice, she became known as ‘Beryl’. Growing up to be a fighter in more ways than one - older brothers can do that to you. Beryl was very sporty as a teenager including cycle racing. When she left school she went to work as a seamstress. She continued to make clothes for her family and became very good at many crafts.

Noeleen, born on Christmas Eve 1932, grew up in Cumbria with her siblings. Her father, a farmworker, eventually bought his own farm. She recalled tough winters, long school walks, and digging sheep out of the snow.

We read recently that Dave Quelch has passed away at home aged 85 years. Dave, together with his wife Jenifer, were landlords of the The Black Horse pub in Foxton and The Bell in Gumley which had quite a lot of cricket memorabilia on the wall. He will be greatly missed by family and friends.

Tim was a Belgrave lad and grew up with a passion for every type of sport, both playing and spectating.

1930 -2024

It is with great sadness that I am writing to report the recent death of Mrs Beryl Lloyd.  She was the wife of the late John Lloyd and mother to the three of us (Peter, Andrew and the late David). She had lived in Kibworth Harcourt for over 60 years and was one of the founders of the tennis club. She also taught at the village primary school for many years and was well known around the village.  She always loved Kibworth and passed away with many happy memories.
