On 15 August we remembered 75 years of Victory in Japan. This brought back memories of my Great Uncle Oliver ‘Jack’ Crowdell who died aged 27 in Japan at the end of World War 2.

Fourth week of lockdown. On the whole, life is so much simpler, especially while we are blessed with beautiful weather and we actually have the time to enjoy Spring evolving before our eyes.

This is the photo taken in 1950, my name was Helen Silver then and I lived at 24 Dover Street.

I am researching the history of my father Len Wright of Leicester.

Over the past few months you may have noticed a queue appearing from The Railway Pub in Kibworth early on Thursday mornings.

It seems like an age since our last article, when I said that rehearsals for The Vicar of Dibley were going well and we were on track for a June production! 

The Kibworth School have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic candidate to join our friendly team.

Observed on Wistow Road, Kibworth Harcourt the attached sign affixed to the railings adjacent to the Midland Main Line railway track between Market Harborough and Leicester.

I am sure readers can not help but notice that our medium sized village (actually its two villages called Kibworth Harcourt and Kibworth Beauchamp) is expanding almost expeditiously with the building in recent times of Kibworth's new estates.

Like most societies, councils, community forums and groups of friends, The Kibworth & District Chronicle Management Committee has been holding its meetings online. Zoom, Google and Microsoft have really been helping with communication though most of us would really like to go back to face to face I suspect. Some of those meetings will have been to discuss finances and perhaps lack of funds for day to day running or future projects.
