We have our Open Day - Saturday 25th January from 11.00am until 4.00pm. Come along! #LeicesterHeritage

We're kicking off the day by announcing new funding to save seven lesser-known UK #HeritageTreasures! ✨ The projects span the UK from Bristol ➡️ Belfast and Edinburgh ➡️ Essex, protecting these at-risk heritage gems for future generations. Read more! 👉 heritagefund.org.uk/news/ps27milli…

This #HeritageTreasures day by The National Lottery, we look at the story of a stained glass WW2 war memorial window.  The 3m high window removed from Aylestone Working Men’s Club in Leicester and found on display at an auction house A tale of last minute rescue and goodwill.

Our open days for next year! @visit_leicester

A CWGC headstone has been installed at Willesden New Cemetery in London for a #WWII casualty previously commemorated on the Brookwood 1939-1945 Memorial. The personal inscription was chosen by the casualty's niece.

These are two memorials which have recently arrived with the project. Westcotes Congregational WW1 and WW2. We have very little information about either, or the church itself, so any help would be appreciated... #Leicester @BBCLeicester @leicslive
