There will be photos and articles to examine and please bring your own to show.

At previous coffee mornings as well as Coleorton folks we've welcomed friends from Leicester whose family used to run The Kings Arms and before that The Angel, and a couple from Melton Mowbray who had found a photo of the Coleorton Hall tenants and staff from 1919 and have discovered family links in Farm Town. Our Coleorton Heritage coffee morning on Saturday 22 February was attended by some interesting people. A couple who have lived in Coleorton for 40 years and brought up their family here, another couple who now live in Leicester and whose family ran many of the pubs in Coleorton, a lady from the south of England researching her family roots in the Coleorton, Staunton Harold and Swannington areas and a newcomer who has just moved into Peggs Green. Good to hear their stories and make new friends.
