If you have any questions about Coleorton families, buildings or life as it once was in Coleorton come and meet our friendly team. We enjoy hearing your stories and seeing if we can all help each other discover more about our local village. There will be photos and articles to examine and some transcripts of local census and 1939 register records. Entry including tea or coffee and biscuits £3.
No need to book, just turn up. You'll be very welcome.
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.
We put names to people in old photographs and also try to identify old houses - or where a house or building has been demolished where they were located. This would contribute to Shaelyn's House History project.
