http://www.askdavetaylor.com/3-blog-pics/donesday-book-open.jpgTHE DOOMSDAY BOOK
Facebook is suing a company called Teachbook  , which operates a social networking site for teachers, apparently because it has "book" in its name and "competes" with Facebook. Teachbook is described as "a professional community for teachers". Sounds like a threat to Facebook's existence doesn't it?  Well we know of a book that predates Facebook and tells us all about Leicestershire. Yes "The Doomsdaybook! The Domesday Book was commissioned in December 1085 by William the Conqueror, who invaded England in 1066. The first draft was completed in August 1086 and contained records for 13,418 settlements in the English counties south of the rivers Ribble and Tees (the border with Scotland at the time).

THE ANGLES HAVE LANDED
The Angles Have
                              Landed
The Angles came here for a visit 1515 years ago and liked it so much they have stayed.
According to sources such as the History of Bede, after the invasion of Britannia, the Angles split up and founded the kingdoms of the Nord Angelnen (Northumbria), Ost Angelnen (East Anglia), and the Mittlere Angelnen (Mercia).  Confirmation is afforded by English and Danish traditions relating to two kings named Wermund and Offa of Angel, from whom the Mercian royal family claimed descent and whose exploits are connected with Angeln, Schleswig, and Rendsburg. Danish tradition has preserved record of two governors of Schleswig, father and son, in their service, Frowinus (Freawine) and Wigo (Wig), from whom the royal family of Wessex claimed descent. During the 5th century, the Anglii invaded Great Britain, after which time their name does not recur on the continent except in the title of Suevi Angili.

Ashby-de-la-Zouch
"Ashby" is a word of Anglo-Danish origins, meaning "Ash Farm". The unusual name of Ashby de la Zouch is derived from the Breton nobleman, who inherited the estate through marriage in the 12th century. Ashby developed into a Spa town in the 19th century, it has a long wide main street, with fine Elizabethan half-timbered houses and delightful bow fronted Georgian shops.In 1464 the town and castle came into the possession of the Hastings family. Later the town was one of the Royalists' "chief garrisons" under the control of Colonel Henry Hastings, 1st Baron Loughborough and commander of the North Midlands Army. When the town fell after a long siege in March, 1646 it was counted a great relief to the surrounding towns and villages.

The parish church, St Helens, houses a rare 300 year-old finger pillory, which may have been used to punish people misbehaving in church.Many of the buildings in Market Street, the town's main thoroughfare, have timber framing, but most of this is hidden by later brick facades. The "Bull's Head" pub retains the original Elizabethan half-timbering. There are also Regency buildings in this street.Bath Street has a row of Classical-style houses dating from the time that the town was a spa.

Blaby
Blaby is a village  , some five miles south of Leicester city centre and with a population of around 6,240 (2001 figures).

Its name probably came Old Norse Blábýr = "farmstead or village belonging to a man named Blár". The -r is a case ending. There seems to have been a dense patch of Viking settlement in Leicestershire, although some records indicate origin of the village's name were from the first vicar, these can be found in the Blaby Library.While there are few buildings of outstanding historical or architectural interest, old Blaby is a conservation area, it contains some ancient and picturesque dwellings and has a charming 'olde worlde' feel. Old Blaby also contains The Baker's Arms, a thatched public house that dates back to 1485 and is thus the second oldest pub in Britain  .To the South of the Bakers Arms stands Bouskell Park - a nature park with a 19th Century ice house.Otherwise 'new' Blaby is less a village than a suburb of Greater Leicester, with most shops and amenitites standing on the A426 between Leicester to the north and Lutterworth to the south. Fosse Park shopping centre and the M1 and M69 motorways are just a few miles away.

Coalville
Coalville is a town in North West Leicestershire,  with a population of about 30,000. It is just off junction 22 of the M1 motorway and is between Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Leicester. Coalville is the administrative centre for North-West Leicestershire District Council.As the name indicates, Coalville is a former coal-mining town, with name coming from the name of the house of the owner of Whitwick Colliery, Coalville House.Following the closure of the mines and the Palitoy factory in the 1980s, the town fell on hard times. Effort was put into regeneration and the Whitwick Business park now stands on top of the former Whitwick Colliery site. New business parks and industrial estates were constructed along the A511.

Hinckley

Hinckley has a history going back to Saxon times. The name means the "woodland clearing (Old English leah) of a man called Hynca". By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, Hinckley was quite a large village, and grew over the course of the following 200 years into a small market town – a market was first recorded there in 1311. In the 17th century the town developed a hosiery industry, producing stockings and similar items.

Hinckley played a prominent part in the English Civil War. Its proximity to several rival strongholds - the royalist garrisons at Ashby de la Zouch and Leicester, those of the Parliamentarians at Tamworth and Coventry, and the presence of parties of troops or brigands occupying several fortified houses in nearby Warwickshire – ensured frequent visits by the warring parties.Hinckley is currently the second largest town in Leicestershire, after Loughborough (Leicester itself being a city).The town is mentioned in Shakespeare's Henry IV, part 2 (Act 5, Scene 1):Davy: Now, sir, a new link to the bucket must need be had: and, sir, do you mean to stop any of William's wages, about the sack he lost the other day at Hinckley fair?Joseph Hansom built the first Hansom cab in Hinckley in 1835.

The Guildhall is reputedly Leicester's most haunted building - five ghosts have been reported in total.

 Haymarket Memorial Clock Tower
is a major landmark and popular meeting point in the  city centre. It is located roughly in the middle of the area inside the ring-road, and is at the point where five major streets (Gallowtree Gate, Humberstone Gate, Belgrave Gate, Church Gate and High Street) meet, and also close by to the junction with Cheapside.The Clock Tower was constructed in 1868, as a centre piece for a traffic island for the increasingly busy Haymarket/Eastgates junction (its business grew with Leicester's expansion and with the adoption of what is now the A6 as the primary road to London). A competition was held for the design, this was won by Joseph Goddard. The tower was built mostly in Ketton stone. Funding was provided largely by private subscription, with the initial origanisation being from John Burton.Officially a memorial, the Clock Tower has four statues of sons of Leicester, one at each corner. The figures are Simon de Montfort, William Wyggeston (spelt 'William Wigston' on the tower itself), Thomas White and Gabriel Newton.

The Leicester Royal Infirmary Museum is really two museums in one, a museum of the History of Medicine, and a museum of the History of the Leicester Royal Infirmary.Founded in 1990 by former Consultant Anaesthetist Dr. Aubrey Stewart, and former Administrator the late Stanley Tipton, the museum builds upon Dr. Stewart's interest in the History of Medicine, and generous donations of equipment and artefacts from retiring hospital staff.Exhibits in the museum range from an 1820 trephine set, bone saws, and a device for curing diverse ills by electric shock are on display. The museum also boasts a range of medicine bottles from the 18th and 19th century.  These were colour coded as many patients couldn’t read - green bottles held ointment, while blue bottles contained poison. Stoneware was used to hold toxic substances that were strong enough to dissolve glass.The museum is open on Wednesday afternoons from 12:00noon to 2:00pm

Magazine Gateway
The Magazine Gateway was the main entrance into the Newarke precinct and was built around 1400. The gate has no portcullis (sliding iron door) and its main purpose was to impress visitors rather than be defensive. The name Newarke means 'new works'. It was once a quiet religious precinct on the edge of medieval Leicester, founded by the earls of Lancaster in the 14th century. The stone walls of the Newarke enclosed the church of St Mary of the Annunciation, Trinity Hospital and several priests' houses. The church of St Mary was closed by Edward VI in 1548 and demolished soon afterwards. The Newarke became an area where many of the richer citizens of Leicester lived to escape local taxes.

Old John

 is a folly atop the highest hill in Bradgate Park. It was built in 1784, by the Grey family of Groby, and was originally an observation tower built to give the ladies a view of a race course which circled the top of the hill. It is well known for its "mug-shape", the 'handle' of which was added later, apparently in memory of a beer-loving family retainer.In the past it has been used as a meeting place for hunters with their fox hounds, a luncheon house for shooting parties in the park, and an observation tower at the centre of a one-mile long practice horse gallop. Below the tower is the remains of a walled enclosure built into the rock face which was formerly a stable for the horses.
