Saturday 22 March

Our Local History Season is going very well. Graham Watts’ talk about Kibworth Harcourt Post Mill was a fascinating look at the past. We are working hard to retain that knowledge today.

Dear Editor

One of the most rewarding pastimes is a short amble around a nearby local village. Looking at the various architectural buildings and admiring peoples’ front gardens etc. Luckily for us Harborough have a number of leaflets available which will guide one to see unusual or interesting features that the passing viewer might not notice straightaway.

We will be holding a table top sale on Saturday 8 March in Kibworth Village Hall LE8 0LN. From 10am to 12.45.

Finally Kibworth Beauchamp has a sign!

Dear Editor,

Many of you will associate this ‘tag line’ with the wonderful Sarah Poli, and never has it been more apt than now, when Sarah and Lino announce that they will finally be closing the doors to Boboli’s.

Over the two days of Thursday 13 and Friday 14 February, Cameron Scott with the help of members of the KH Post Mill volunteers group carried out some remedial work on the mill following the annual inspection.  The Society for the Preservation of Buildings (SPAB) who actually own the building signed off the work which was initially on the brake wheel however other areas were looked at and where necessary maintained.

Last month a series of local history talks began in Kibworth Community Library. The talk by Graham Wat, one of the volunteers at Kibworth Harcourt Post Mill was very well-received.
