St Helen’s Church Heritage Project Secures Heritage Lottery Fund Investment St Helen’s Church, Ashby-de-laZouch, has received a confirmed grant of £604,800 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).

The money will support a major enhancement project for the church and its surrounding area, to benefit visitors and the growing community of Ashby-de-la-Zouch.

The funding will allow the development of a wide-ranging heritage project, including a new Community Heritage Centre with displays, interpretation in the church and improved lighting. A part-time Heritage Officer will be appointed to run an educational programme for children and adults, including innovative creative workshops. A team of volunteers will be given training to welcome and guide visitors and to carry out further research on this most interesting part of old Ashby.

The church, which dates back to 1474, has been associated with Tudor royalty and is the burial place of many of the Earls and Countesses of Huntingdon.

Memorials within the church demonstrate a number of

Earlybird Tickets For Market Bosworth Country Show Available Now The 127th Market Bosworth Country Show will be held on Sunday 3 July at Cow Pastures Farm, The Park, Market Bosworth CV13 0DP. The Show will be raising funds for the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.

Reduce the costs of a day at the Show by buying an early bird ticket via the website www. marketbosworthshow.co.uk An adult ticket via the website is £7.00 (£8.00 on the day) and a family ticket (2 adults, 2 children, aged 5 -16) is £15.00 (£20.00 on the day). Also reductions for pensioners and children. Children 4 and under go free.

An even better bargain is to join Market Bosworth Agricultural, Horticultural and Equestrian Society. For £15.00 per year a member is entitled to free entry to the show ground, free car parking in the member's area, access to the member’s enclosure and bar plus a guest admission ticket.

important clergy and benefactors throughout its history, and the building itself has been developed to meet the needs of the congregation throughout its history. An archaeological dig nearby discovered evidence of Mesolithic people, as well as medieval and Civil War buildings and artefacts.

The St Helen’s team which prepared the application is led

by Susan Boardman-Weston, who declared herself delighted that HLF had agreed to make the award. “A team from St Helen’s Church has been working hard to develop this project and we’re keen to get started on making it a reality,” said Susan.

The Rector of St Helen’s, the Rev. Canon Mary Gregory, said “As a church community we are delighted to have been given such a generous grant to enable us to share the wonderful heritage of St Helen's with more visitors and in exciting and creative ways. This is a grant of real significance, not only for our church but for Ashby as a whole in reinforcing its place as a centre for heritage and culture” The Heritage Project will run for three years, initially. The project welcomes new members, and anyone interested in being involved with the project should contact sthelensvolunteers@ gmail.com

Thurcaston And Cropston Open Gardens 2016 - 10th Anniversary

The 10th Open Gardens event in the villages of Thurcaston and Cropston will take place this summer on the weekend of 25th and 26th June.

We hope to have a number of different gardens for you to visit across the two villages, some who have taken part in the event for most of those 10 years! Some are large, some small, some immaculate, some very much less so! But all for you to enjoy.

It is often said how welcoming our Gardeners are and they would love you to come and see all their hard work and help them raise money for a great cause.

Gardens will be open from 2pm – 6pm on both days; tickets will be £4 each (accompanied children and wheelchair users free) and will be valid for both days. They can be purchased on the day from any of the Open Gardens. Look for the fuchsia coloured balloons!

All money raised from the event will go to LOROS and the villages’ new Good Neighbour Scheme.

For more information about this event please have a look at our web site www.tcog.org.uk or contact Linda on 0116 2363872 or email Linda@tcog.org.uk We look forward to seeing you!

GOT AN ARTICLE TO SEND US? We are always on the lookout for local news.

Details of this year’s Ian Clews Writing Competition have gone out to local schools. Last year, three pupils from Congerstone and Griffydam Primary Schools shared the £100 prize money and we hope to receive some fascinating stories about the Edwardian parachute queen, Dolly Shepherd, this time.

Available to buy from our shop, along with other gifts, is a new book ‘Return to the Sixpenny Switchback’ by Keith Gilliver.

The original book was written by Peter White & J.W. Storer in 1983.

It followed and described a typical journey on the route of the Burton & Ashby Light Railways from its terminus in front of Burton Town Hall, through the town, crossing the river Trent and up Bearwood Hill past the Stanhope Arms and across the fields to Newhall (where the book gained its name “The Sixpenny Switchback” from the undulating track). It then ran down into Swadlincote, where the Company had its Headquarters and Power generating station. The main route went up to Woodville, Boundary and into Ashby via the Burton Road, through the town and terminating outside the Midland Railway station. The other less successful route went from Swadlincote up Alexandra Road to Church Gresley and terminated at Castle Gresley.

The new book significantly updates the previous one with additional information and photographs showing the route “Then and Now” as well as a comprehensive section on the discovery and return of Tram 14 from Detroit to its new home at Statfield Barn. There is also now an additional section, written by Ken Hillier, on the social effects the B&ALR had on the towns it passed through, in particular Ashby.

Our summer programme of town history walks has begun with two in May. If you would like to discover more about Ashby’s fascinating history then why not join our experienced guides on Wednesday June 8th or Wednesday August 17th. Walks start from the Museum at 7 p.m. and cost £3.50. Call the Museum on 01530 560090 to book a place.

We have welcomed several new volunteers to the Museum recently but can always accommodate more. If you have a couple of hours a fortnight to spare and would like to join our friendly team and do something worthwhile, then please get in touch with us on 01530 560090, or pop in to see us in person (preferably on a Monday or Wednesday morning).

The Kids’ Club at Ashby Museum in June is looking at the Tudors.

Come and create your own King and Queens time line and make your own Tudor poster. There is also a chance to dress in period costumes and handle the artifacts from this time. Tudor day is on Saturday 4th June with free entry at the museum from 11am till 4pm. Open to all kids of primary school age. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service.

Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that

obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle.

Locally Cloudy2Clear service the Ashby & Measham areas and manager Martyn Kemp agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I

get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Martyn a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Summer Colour We’ve had some lovely sunny days recently to give a taste of what summer will bring, enough to warm the earth and lift the spirits. With the weather improving our attention increasingly turns to the garden.

It’s easy to add a splash of seasonal colour with a visit to the local garden centre or nursery in June & July, but what to choose?

Verbena

Dahlias

Plants for Containers

Pelargonium – AKA Upright geraniums, these come in a huge range of colours from vibrant reds and pinks to soft lilac and white.

They are great in pots, coping in hot spots and infrequent watering. Scented Pelargoniums are a favourite of mine. They have less prominent flowers but the heavily scented foliage, often patterned or textured they make an interesting display.

Verbena – these come in a range of habits, either trailing, bushy or a combination of the two. They all flower prolifically, benefiting from occasional dead heading. Again there is a vast range to choose from including some pretty bicoloured forms.

Million Bells – These are my favourite plants for containers and hanging baskets. They flower from May right through to October without the need to deadhead.

Although each flower is small,

Rudbeckia

Bel Grierson

Garden Designer & Plantswoman

there are so many of them that they create great mounds of colour.

New Guinea Impatiens – The large flowered and leaved cousins of Buzy Lizzies, these provide a dramatic splash of colour throughout the summer. They are really tender so be sure to plant them out once all chance of frost has past.

Begonias – the popular Non-Stop and Illumination forms flower constantly through the summer months without the need for constant attention.

Gap fillers for borders

Fuchsias – choose bush forms rather than the trailing ones and these will fit neatly into empty gaps in the border. There are small dainty blooms right through to the huge American hybrids with deeply ruffled blooms. Fuchsias do benefit from deadheading to remove spent flowers and their purple fruits in order to prolong the flowering.

Fuchsias are particularly good in shady areas and are equally as happy in well watered containers as they are in the ground.

Osteospermum – the Cape Daisy, these neat plants are smothered in large daisies in a whole range of colours from spring to late summer.

Deadheading is worthwhile to ensure they remain floriferous.

Some varieties are hardy like

belgriersondesign info@belgrierson.co.uk

Osteospermum Compactum or O. ‘Tresco Purple’. These varieties reliably make it through each winter, whereas most will succumb to the frosts.

Dahlias – Garden centres and nurseries stock dwarf varieties of Dahlias at this time of year with are particularly good for popping in to gaps in the border as well as pots.

Great clusters of petals in a rainbow of colours are held on sturdy stems above green or purple foliage.

Deadheading is essential as is fending off greedy slugs.

Rudbeckia – hardy varieties are commonly found in borders, but there are many half-hardy varieties offered in garden centres and nurseries in early summer to give brilliantly bright blooms non-stop until late autumn. New varieties have large blooms with interesting blotched petals.

Deadhead to prolong their season of interest.

Pelargoniums, Dahlias, Fuchsias and Million Bells will be featuring heavily in my garden this year.

What will you choose? With July on its way, Next month I’ll be reviewing some of my favourite gardens I urge you to visit during the summer holidays.

LOCAL NEWS

Beaumanor World War 2 “Y” Listeners The Loughborough Library Local Studies Volunteers are planning a display highlighting the work carried out by the Y-Listeners at Beaumanor Hall during World War II. The display is planned for February/March 2017 in the Public Library in Granby Street, Loughborough.

Beaumanor Hall was requisitioned by the War Office in 1940 and set up as a "Y" Station. The "Y" (wireless) Stations were British Signals Intelligence collection sites established during World War II. The Y-Listeners collected traffic (signals) that was then passed on for processing, to the

Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park.

Secrecy was once of the utmost importance but nowadays the true history of the important role of the Listeners and the code breakers is coming to light. It has been calculated that their work shortened the War by some two years. We are interested in hearing of personal experiences, anecdotes and memories that anyone associated with the Y-Listening Service would be willing to share. Be assured that this project has the full approval of the representatives of Beaumanor Hall.

If you have any information that you would like to share with us please contact Loughborough Library Local Studies or email: lllsv@gmx.co.uk

SEAN SHEAHAN Measham Heritage Trail

The Heritage Trail in Measham is set to receive some overdue attention after the County Council secured a grant from the National Forest Company to cut back the overgrown tree canopy. The extra sunlight and reduction in leaf litter should help make the trail less likely to sludge-up. This month I pointed out to a County Council officer that in patches, the surface has deteriorated to the point that the trail has become inaccessible for disabled users. I was promised that repairs to the surface are being looked at.

Library Planning Application A planning application has been submitted by the County Council to allow a local computer company to set up shop in the study area in Measham Library, which currently houses the non-fiction books. Under the arrangement, the company will lease the whole building, host IT throughout the library and make provision for the library lending service via a sublease to the volunteer group.

Having kept a very critical eye on what is happening to the smaller libraries in Leicestershire, I have to report that sadly there has been no sign that the County Council Administration are going to ease up on the mass conversion to community-run libraries. On the face of it, the arrangement with the IT company at Measham should make the library more viable, but I still have real concerns about the sustainability of volunteer-run libraries over time.

This month, I visited one of ten libraries maintained by Peterborough City Council which have been converted to ‘smart’ libraries. These are run without staff for part of the time. The officer there explained how their

ANDREW BRIDGEN council rejected the volunteer run model as they ‘tend to fall over after 3 or 4 years’ and it ‘works in affluent areas, but not where there is deprivation.’ So it’s not just me saying it, then...

Leicestershire are planning to try out the smart library model in larger libraries, starting at Syston.

I have discussed with one of our officers how it might work as a rescue package if a community library runs into serious difficulties.

Ashby Canal Geoff Pursglove is retiring after a long and distinguished career as the County Council’s Canal Officer.

Many will fondly remember Geoff for his dedication to the cause of restoring the Ashby Canal. We’ll certainly miss him, although he promises to stay involved.

In a surprise move, and no doubt prompted by the Ashby Canal’s volunteer groups starting to up their game on fundraising, Leicestershire County Council have made a bid to the LLEP Project Pipeline for a whopping £12 million to complete the connection from Snarestone to Measham.

Fingers crossed!

Archaeological Find The clay pits near Redbank have yielded up further evidence of a prehistoric settlement in Measham. Roundhouses, probably dwellings or stock enclosures, with associated pits containing fragments of pottery and bone, have been dated to the Bronze Age, which apparently is earlier than usual for this type of building.

The County Archaeologist has been working with the site owners to ensure the findings are properly recorded, and I have put a local amateur archaeologist in touch with the owners to try to glean more information.

One of the more disappointing aspects of the referendum campaign so far has been the scaremongering and outlandish claims that have recently made the headlines. The many people to whom I have spoken on this issue want to make their decisions based on facts. There is a lot of talk at present about the Remain campaign employing ‘project fear’ and I think you have to ask yourself the question, if our membership of the EU is such a positive and is beneficial to the Country, why does the Remain campaign consist of nothing more than scare stories at present?

Take for instance the recent scare stories about withdrawal from the EU. We are told that each household will be £4300 worse off if we leave. That’s the headline but the detail highlights how disingenuous the Remain campaign are being. The figure is based on what the Treasury forecasts GDP will be in 2030, something is has difficulty doing on even an annual basis, and uses the number of households now and not the projected figure for 2030. In addition, GDP per household is a meaningless figure since it does not accurately reflect households’ spending power or living standards. It also relies on net annual immigration of 185,000 which I believe is an unsustainable number.

The impact of our membership of the EU is being clearly illustrated through the problems facing the UK Steel industry. The reason the industry is in so much trouble is that the Chinese are dumping state subsidised steel into the EU, at prices the UK cannot compete with. The USA can see what is happening and imposed a 236% tariff on Chinese steel last year.

The 28 EU States however cannot agree a response, bearing in mind that some EU Countries have little or no Steel industry, and are happy to buy cheap Chinese steel.

We are therefore continue to be shackled to an EU wide tariff of only around 9%.

This sums up the problem with the EU. A huge bureaucracy whose membership want different things, and which ultimately overrules British sovereignty. These are not the outlandish claims of the Remain campaign but are evidential facts about the cost to the UK of EU Membership. With unemployment at over 10% in the Eurozone being around twice the UK rate, it could be said that the EU is a cost to all EU economies.

There are more facts that the Remain campaign cannot respond to. Immigration for instance, and the fact that we can have no control over our immigration numbers whilst we remain in the EU, the damage done to our fishing industry by EU rules, the democratic deficit of an unelected EU President and Commission, the list goes on.

Michael Gove has recently set out a vision for the No campaign whereby Britain would be able to trade in the European Free Trade Zone that stretches from Iceland to Turkey. This would mean that the UK is not subject to the burden of EU law and would not have to accept EU rules on freedom of movement where citizens from the 27 other countries, with more set to join, can freely move to live and work in the UK. This would mean we would have full control over our immigration policy once more.

It is not foreseeable that we will have another referendum on the EU so your participation is vital. I ask you to ignore the scaremongering of project fear and consider the facts and the cost of our EU Membership when the referendum is held on June 23rd and I urge you to vote to leave.
