Letters to the Editor Dear Editor The Red Lion Does the Red Lion Pub have any respect? You should not need to be reminded but today is Armistice Day, and even more significance in that it marks the 100th anniversary of the start of WW1. Does it not show anything that on the 11th hour whilst standing at the village war memorial, your pub decides to do some hedge cutting? To me it clearly shows that there seems to be no remorse and that you do not support the local and national fallen heroes, for what should be 2 minutes silence to reflect, is instead disturbed by a racquet of noise from a tractor, cutting hedges, shame on you. I would even suggest a public apology to be made in the Sapcote News, and Sapcote Village Web On an associated matter... I now have returned to see my garden which now looks like a war site itself, with hedge clippings everywhere. Do you care to clean up your mess or happy for the debris to be collected and then be disposed on your property? I would be grateful for a response.

P Hill

Dear Editor

I would like to respond to an email that you have received from Mr. P Hill on Armistice Day.

Firstly: I would like to say that The Red Lion employed a contractor to cut our hedge as we have done every year for the past Ten Years.

The contractor turned up to cut the hedge at 10:10

AM. He has told me that he stopped work at 10:55

having completed his task.

Secondly: Not once did Mr. Hill call or visit the Red

Lion to voice his complaint as I would

have gone to his house to remove the cuttings immediately, as I would gladly do now for him and apologise for any inconvenience this has caused to him. Would Mr. Hill complain if the hedge were overgrown?

Thirdly: I was at the site at 11:00AM and Mr. Hill was not! As he claims to be. As for the comment of Red Lion having no respect I would like to say that I have lived in Sapcote all of my life that I can remember and have attended the Armistice Day service from being a small child every year to this date, often helping with the set up to bow my head to show my respects to the fallen, missing a year in 1981 as I was returning home after being overseas with the Royal Navy for eight months helping to protect oil shipping during the Iran, Iraq war. I believe that I have shown a great deal of respect throughout my life to those that have given something and to those that sadly gave all. I will continue to do so.

What I find shameful is that Mr. Hill has used our War Heroes from this village & across the UK who have lost their lives protecting him and his family, to complain about hedge cuttings flying over into his garden as an excuse, which is really what this complaint is all about, as you can see at the end of his E-mail with his associated matter. He explains that his garden, looked like a war site, if a few hedge cuttings in Mr. Hills opinion looks like a war site, I suggest he looks at film and pictures of a real war and its devastating consequences and then reflects on his outrageous comment.

The shame is on you MR HILL!

I hope that this confirms that the Red Lion has every respect.

Cliff Morgan FBII, Landlord of the Red Lion

Editoral Comment: Since going to press, Mr Hill has apologised to Mr Morgan for the tone, and wording that was used to portray his disappointment in his letter


Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor The headline in last month's edition of the Sapcote News read, Adrenaline rush in Sapcote!! Well let me tell you about my adrenaline rush and scare! On Sunday August 31, the Sunday before my holiday, I was so very lucky to have gone upstairs early in the evening as I found a fire on my French balcony. I rushed out and threw the fiercely burning Chinese lantern of my flat roof! It still scares me when I think that if I had not been home and going upstairs, what could have happened! I still have some evidence of the fire on my patio window frame, also the partly burned out lantern with the message! It was sent in memory of Callum.RIP. Love Lucy So I will be one person voting to have these dangerous lanterns banned! Brendina Williams. Hinckley Road. Ps the lantern did not travel far as I believe it was launched in the village

An open letter to Sapcote Heritage Group.

November 2014

Dear Sirs

I have written before about the wonderful public

exhibitions which you produce from time to time.

However I feel moved to write again and commend

you on the World War 1 related exhibition which you

arranged fairly recently.

It was so clearly and concisely presented in a way

which brought back to life what living in Sapcote at

that time was like. The detail was amazing and the

commemoration pieces written about Sapcote men

lost in the war was very humbling.

I am sure that local Sapcote families gained even

more from this exhibition but no-one could fail to find

it moving and thought provoking.

I would like to say a sincere thank you to all the

people who obviously spent many hours and much

care in preparing this exhibition and manning it for

two days including providing some very tasty

refreshments. Well done Sapcote Heritage Group.

Please continue to produce your exhibitions from time

to time. They are greatly enjoyed and appreciated.

Yours

Mike NEWTON, Browns Close

SAPCOTE HERITAGE GROUP

A PERFECT SUMMER AFTERNOON

It was a perfect summer afternoon when a large

number of members travelled to Hallaton to enjoy a

guided walk around this beautiful village, which

every year on Easter Monday becomes a battle

ground vying with neighbouring Medbourne to gain

possession of a barrel of ale. We had a leisurely walk

down the highways and byways of this conservation

village, taking in the ancient church and adjacent

museum with their World War One displays, before

having a rest on the beautiful village green. Then we

made our way back to The Fox Inn where we were to

have a well earned rest and where a cream tea had

been laid on for us.

GHOSTLY GOINGS ON

Local Author David Bell entertained us with an

evening of ghosts, witches and horror stories from

Leicestershire’s murky past at our October meeting.

Among the tales he related was the story of Five-to-

Four Fred, a highwayman who haunts the Belper

Arms pub in Newton Burgoland, the county’s oldest

pub. He shows up every morning and evening at the

same time. If a man feels his presence, he has the

sensation of having hands placed over his nose and

mouth to suffocate him. With a woman, it is having

her face stroked or bottom patted. Apparently Fred

was courting a serving wench from the pub who was

murdered by a jealous rival. The story goes he is still

looking for the murderer and his old sweetheart,

accounting for his different treatment of men and

women. Closer to home David mentioned the story

of the bleeding tombstone of murdered saddler

Richard Smith, in St Mary’s churchyard, Hinckley.

The story of the Bilstone gibbet was recounted and

how the body hanging from it became an attraction

for years, with the skull eventually being made into a

punch bowl and used at an inn in Atherstone.

OUR BRAVE BOYS AND THE SAPCOTE

THEY LEFT BEHIND

A bronze memorial plaque to a Sapcote born

soldier was just one of the items presented to the

heritage group, during its exhibition over the

weekend of October 11-12. to commemorate the

centenary of the start of the First World War.

Known colloquially as the Dead Man’s Penny,

more than 1 million of the medallions were

issued to the next-of-kin of all British and

Empire service personnel who were killed in the

conflict. The donated plaque is in the name of

John Underwood, a Lance Corporal in the 1st

Battalion, Leicestershire Regiment who died on

14 April, 1918. A quarryman, who was born in

Sapcote, he moved to Frolesworth with his wife

Emma Eliza, with whom he had one son,

Richard. He enlisted in Leicester and served in

Mesopotamia and France. The exhibition was

held to showcase the untiring work of member

Valerie Clark, who has spent the last 11 years

researching details of all the men from the

village who went to fight in this war to end all

wars, some never to return and whose names are

recorded on our war memorial. The newly

decorated church was the appropriate setting for

a display of numerous photographs of soldiers,

their details, documents from Valerie’s

researches and artefacts of the period - all put

together with the assistance of members John

and Jill Hardman. Window displays by Margaret

Hextall, were based on war poems as was the

small living-room of the period re-created by the

south door. Poems and music from the war years

were played in the church. The altar was

decorated with memorial lilies and poppies for

remembrance. Replica gospels, like those given

to soldiers, were handed out to visitors. A re-

enactment soldier was in attendance, with some

heritage group members in period costume, and a

first world war motorbike was brought in.


SAPCOTE HERITAGE GROUP cont’d

A film of war footage was run throughout the

weekend in the church hall, which hosted a display

of photographs from the early years of the 20th

century. These featured village buildings, village and

farming activities, church life and schoolchildren,

some of whom would end up going to fight in this

war. Lady members very kindly provided cakes and

refreshments for sale over the weekend and a quiz

prepared about the period proved popular. Some

visitors were so impressed that several went home,

one as far as Burbage, to bring back photographs and

medals to be photographed to be added to our

archive. We were also given a map showing

installations in the village during the second world

war, including machine gun positions, a rifle range,

the home guard headquarters and air raid precautions

warden’s post. We were pleased to agree to the

church’s request to leave the photographs and details

of the soldiers on display in the church, until it was

moved into the church hall to be shown on

Remembrance Sunday, when member Valerie Clark

laid a wreath at the war memorial on behalf of

Sapcote Heritage Group. Our thanks must go to

members of the church who ensured that the building

was spick and span for us after the decorators had

finished painting the nave only a few days before.

STARTED BUT NEVER FINISHED

One of our regular speakers Peter Liddle came to our

October meeting to talk about the history of

Kirby Muxloe Castle. We heard how William, 1st

Baron Hastings, planned during the period of the

Wars of the Roses to totally redevelop an existing

manor house at Kirby Muxloe to a fortified

residence. Work was to stop in 1483 when

William was executed for treason on the orders of

King Richard 111 and the castle was never

completed. Nowadays it is in the guardianship of

English Heritage. Using plans from the archives

and building accounts now owned by a library in

California, Peter was able to furnish members

with some interesting facts about one of the first

brick buildings in Leicestershire built by Flemish

or Burgundian bricklayers over a period of 4

years. The moat was dug by Irishmen, slaters from

Wales worked on roofs, timbers came from

Osbaston Wood and each room had an ‘en-suite’

garden robe.

SAPCOTE BLOOM GROUP

We would like to thank everyone who

has supported the village bloom project

throughout they year. We have just

finished planting 4000 bulbs around the

village including daffodils, crocuses

and tete-to-tete so look out for them

blooming in the spring. The flowering

bulbs herald the arrival of spring which

is something we all look forward to

after the winter months.

Thank you to everyone who helped to

plant the bulbs and for everyone who

has made contributions to the Bloom

Group.

We held our Autumn Fest in October at

the Methodist Church Hall. This was a

great success and thank you to

everyone who volunteered their time to

support us on the day and to those of

who came along. A special thank you

to Leicestershire Heritage apple project

and to Sapcote Heritage Group for their

exhibition.

made in memory. We think long and

hard where best to use this money,

thinking and planning on what flowers

to plant and where.

the following donations:

In memory of Betty Raine.

In memory of Lesley.

In memory of Sara. We will place a

fundraising event of the year, Christmas

Teas at Sapcote Pavilion on Wednesday

10th

December 2pm-4pm.

Happy Christmas and a prosperous new

year and we will aim to keep up the

work next year.


POETS CORNER Think of the children… …at this time of the year, who hold their breath - some so full of excitement and some so full of fear of what there is to come: those welcome presents or unwelcome presence? And so forced to succumb to those who would do harm by abuse, war, poverty and pestilence. The Wish Lists for Santa will come true for innocents unaffected by hate, bile and mantra: shockingly to disarm; being told this is ‘normal’ with the greatest lies often said in silence - totally amoral. Let’s enjoy our Yuletide but spare a moment to think of the children. They can’t be brushed aside. David Allinson November 2014 SANTA Dear Santa, Soon you will be on your way Delivering presents for Christmas Day, But one thing puzzles me you see Is how you get my presents to me, You see our house is chimney-less, But you have other ways I guess To get my presents into me, I wonder what that way could be. Now Johnny don’t you bother so, My Reindeer knows the way to go, And as we speed along we’ll see Your house, the one that’s chimney-free, And then as if by magic born You’ll find your presents on Christmas morn, And after that we’ll disappear Until its Christmas time next year Hewins Gilbert

We Remember – Joyce Upton

This year we have lost Joyce Upton who passed away in her sleep on 29th September. She was one of the original deliverers of the Sapcote News and this sweet, frail lady was

seen cycling her round in all weathers.

In the last couple of years she was ably helped in this task by her daughter and son,

Eileen and Andrew, who have offered to continue doing so. We will miss her cheery

attitude. May she rest in peace.

GEORGE’S PEARL CARVINGS

We welcomed Mr George Hook, managing

director of the last company working on Mother

of Pearl in the Midlands, as our guest speaker in

September. George’s family is now situated in

Pope Street, Smethwick. He talked about his

work while passing round beautiful shells from

exotic parts of the world and cards of different

designs and sizes of pearl buttons, belt buckles,

hair slides, cutlery handles and spoons. George,

a true craftsman, has made pearl buttons for

Jasper Conran and carried out intricate pearl

inlays in furniture for Lord Linley. When he

retires, as he has no one to pass the trade on to,

the company which has been in the family since

the early 1700s will finish. We were pleased to

hear that George’s sister has written a book

entitled ‘The Birmingham Pearlies’, an account of

the pearl shell industry. George said that at least

in this way the industry will not be forgotten.

ROSEMARY’S RAMBLINGS

Rosemary Heyes, ex County Chairman, was our

speaker at the October meeting with a talk

entitled ‘Rosemary’s Ramblings’. She spoke first

of her move from Scotland where she had

belonged to Scotland’s Rural Women’s

Organisation, which seemed to be the equivalent

of our Women’s Institute. When she and her

husband moved to Leicestershire, they chose to

settle in Ravenstone as it had a good WI for

Rosemary and a squash court for hubby!

Rosemary found herself on the Board of

Trustees for the Leicestershire and Rutland

Federation of WI’s in 2001, where everyone

seemed to speak in a foreign language.

Eventually she got in her stride however and

became County Chairman in 2008. She told us

what an honour it had been to represent 4,000

members and was able to give some insight into

what the role entails. Obviously Rosemary’s time

in office had brought responsibilities but her talk,

often amusing, focussed mainly on the lighter side

of her duties. Special memories were of attending

the Buckingham Palace Garden Party in 2012,

watching the Olympic Torch being carried across

Rutland Water on a boat and a trip to Burghley

House, when the Queen was present.

CENTENARY BUNTINGS

For the National Centenary Year a baton is being

passed around all the WI Federations in England

and Wales. The Baton, which contains

photographs of each Federation, was with us from

October 7 to 14. Each WI was invited to make a

string of bunting to take to the first Leicestershire

and Rutland Centenary Baton Event on October 8

at Foxton Locks. Pam Chappell and Jenny Groom

made one for Sapcote and Angela Pearce,

Dorothy Barnes, Barbara Laken and Win Bradbury

went along on the day to join 500 WI members

from 146 institutes with 300 metres of bunting

stretching the full length of the locks. The baton

was passed right along the line. Lots of

photographs were taken advertising the WI.

This is Win’s photo of Dorothy, Barbara and Angela at Foxton.


WI NEWS cont’d

There was a Centenary Baton walk at Bradgate

Park on October 9 followed by afternoon tea at

Newtown Linford Village Hall. Maureen Reeves

went along to join in a WI ‘Flash Mob’ at

Leicester’s Clock Tower. Members had been

invited to wear green and white (the WI colours)

under their coat and at 2.00pm take off their coats

and join together to sing ‘Jerusalem’. On the final

day, members were able to walk or cycle at

Rutland Water before the hand over of the baton

to Huntingdon and Peterborough Federation.

NO VOTING NEEDED

At our Annual General Meeting on November 10,

President Angela Pearce reported that there had

been no new nominations to serve on the

committee and all the present committee

members were willing to continue. So the

committee would stand and as no-one else

wished to be considered for the role of President,

Angela would continue for another term.

The team leading Sapcote WI into the Centenary

Year is President Angela Pearce, Secretary Jenny

Groom, Treasurer Margaret Edwards. The

committee members are Win Bradbury, Carol

Carter, Pam Chappell, Jill Hardman, Joan

Lloyd, Maureen Reeves and Margaret Wilde

After listening to the officers’ annual reports,

we could all agree with Jenny Taylor, who

stated in her vote of thanks to the committee

that they have worked together to make a

wonderful team and such a strong WI.

The business ended relatively early with the

announcement of this year’s competition

winners. 1st Margaret Wilde, 2nd Audrey Malkin

and 3rd Delia Hewitt, so there was lots of time

to enjoy two fun quizzes and a buffet supper.
