Allsorts

This area of the web-site records items concerning the villages that do not readily meet the criteria of our other web pages. The information has been provided by members of the Society and others, often from personal knowledge or detailed study.

The Society is willing to receive articles and items relating to the Kibworths and Smeeton Westerby from anyone able and willing to contribute them. Articles offered can be short or detailed. They may be supplementary to articles already published, or on a quite different topic. Subject to editorial checks, each contribution submitted will be added as an Extra to the original article.

Contributors should send their article, including full contact details, to history@kibworth.plus.com. Thank you.

The “allsorts” are all in pdf format and may be downloaded, free of charge, for personal use only. Kindly acknowledge the Society as the source of the document.
