Peter Loseby, a former Committee Member and active supporter of DGSA, in his capacity as a member of the Market Bosworth Society was invited, by the management of the Bosworth Hall Hotel, to give a talk to their guests and visitors tracing the Dixie Line from 1589 through 1975. The talk was part of the hotel's contribution to Tourism Week. Amongst the audience was Lady Caroline Dixie who afterwards congratulated Peter on a fascinating talk about her family's history.

We have been searching for years to find a copy of the Hymn Book we used at School to add to the Memorabilia  held in our Archive. At last, thanks to the generosity of  former pupil David Heighton (1954, Evans) we have succeeded!

David apologises for its somewhat well worn and abused condition . He is keen to point out that it was taken from and returned to his blazer pocket  many, many times during his time at School.

These hymn books were used daily at Assembly and at every Church Service held throughout the year. Considering it is nearly seventy years old, I think it has survived very well.

Former pupil and Battle of Britain pilot Herbert E. Black has been nominated and short-listed for a prestigious Leicestershire Green Plaque. To find out how you can vote for him please “Click here”.
