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.
We have been touched to have received
the following donations:
In memory of Betty Raine.
In memory of Lesley.
In memory of Sara. We will place a
planter on the corner of Grace

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.
Page 15 of 16 Q4 – October – December 2014
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.
