Kibworth Mill will once again be opening as part of Heritage Open Days. These give people an opportunity to visit buildings that are not normally open to the public. This is the oldest mill in Leicestershire and will be open on Saturday 19 September and Sunday 20 September. Volunteers will show visitors around inside and outside the mill. They will be able to see the inner workings and marks left by the millers over the last 400 years. You can see how it was extended in the years before the USA came into existence!

Join our guided tour of the church. Find out why St. Peter’s came to host the first performance of Handel’s Messiah in a parish church.
St. Peter’s, the Mother Church of The Langtons, is of amazing proportions and has so much heritage of interest dating back 800 years.
Victorian renovations resulted in the elaborate carvings on the pews and
pulpit and a reredos in the chancel which is an alabaster representation of the Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci.
Tickets: Adults £5, children FREE. No booking required. Cream Teas available.

At our May meeting, Illston on the Hill discussed the Resolutions and dealt with all the business necessary so we could proceed with our quiz, very ably set by Kathy Moss.

No one actually got full marks, but we were very close. A really good evening which ended in lovely refreshments and catching up with all our friends.
