Restart Spring 2018

After a hiatus of three years we are going to be visiting churches again from this spring. The reason for the three year gap was to concentrate on the business side which has now settled down and allows us more time to continue this project.

The tower also has some unusual X shaped tracery in the windows. Of  course this may not be a ‘Leicestershire’ church but the lady was from Leicester and any ideas would be most welcome.

The first brand new entry has gone on-line today for All Saints at Theddingworth. The images were taken in 2012 and I have just written up the text this week. I ‘also’ have around twenty-three churches completed with imagery so I can start to add these. I am also out at Enderby this Friday completing their church. The Rutland entries from the old site have all been moved across and the old site has been...
