Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Big Community Project at the Sir John Moore Foundation Museum
Heritage Open Day: Over the past year, we've been exploring local history. From suffragettes to the WI, local houses and pubs, the Civil War and the First World War. The school itself has an unusual 300 year history - from Sir Christopher Wren to a lost time capsule. Find out why such a fabulous school was designed by Sir Christopher Wren and built in the middle of a field in rural Leicestershire! And then find out about the history of the whole village - from its Roman beginnings, its medieval growth, its part in the bloody Civil War, and the enclosures that led to poverty. The village has changed completely since the turn of the century, and the history of its houses and ancient families is only now being collated. This exhibition has been co-produced by the whole community.
