The Hall was built in the 1870s and has an amazing 30 acre estate. It was gifted to the School of Philosophy in 1986. Sue and her husband David started volunteering in 2008. Over the years, they have learnt about the history, the people who lived and worked there and have enjoyed seeing the hall and garden brought back to life. Come and join us to find out more about this fascinating hall, just up the road from Markfield! £3 for visitors or become a member for £8 per year and then no additional charge for talks/activities www.markfieldhistory.org – FB Bygone Markfield Looking ahead to ... the Christmas Craft Fayre THE FRIENDS of St Peter’s church are holding this year’s Christmas Craft Fayre on Saturday 18th November from 10 am to 2.30 pm at Thornton Community Centre, Thornton, LE67 1AH There is plenty to do and see with 22 craft stalls, a cake stall, games, raffle and tombola. Father Christmas will be in his grotto for most of the day where the children will be able to visit him. Watch out for his arrival by steam engine. Hot and cold refreshments will be available throughout the day. This is a lovely opportunity to meet with friends old and new, and to find unusual Christmas gifts. All profits from this annual event go towards repairing and maintaining the beautiful, medieval church that is the Church of St Peter in Thornton. Do hope that you will be able to visit on the day. Admission is 50p per adult. Children under 14 are free. I asked my wife if I was the only one she’s been with. She said, “Yes, the others were at least sevens or eights”.

Being an executor is something you’ll only do once or twice in your lifetime. You have a very important role in ensuring the wishes of the person who has died are followed, and for sorting their finances and possessions. One of the most significant duties of this role is to protect the value of the estate. You will need to visit any property owned by the deceased, to ensure windows are closed, doors locked and the property is generally secure. Executor’s at-a-glance checklist 1. You will need a medical certificate giving the cause of death, usually issued by a doctor. Then you can register the death at your local register office, within five days in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, or within eight days in Scotland. 2. Find the deceased’s Will, if one has been written. 3. After checking the Will for specific wishes, you can start arranging a funeral. 4. Notify people and organisations of the death, which will allow them to freeze accounts and cancel direct debits to prevent any further payments being taken from the estate. These include: employer; mortgage provider, landlord, house association or council housing office; insurance providers (home and life insurance are most common); utlities providers; TV and internet provider; Bereavement Register (this is to stop junk mail being sent); banks and/or building societies; pension providers; dentist, GP, and optician; social services or carers; magazine subscriptions/club memberships; and for government departments like the Passport Office, DVLA and HMRC, you can use the government’s Tell Us Once service. 5. Value the estate. Probate is usually required if the estate of the person who died is worth more than £10,000. However, if most of the assets in the estate were jointly owned, probate may not be needed at all. 6. Apply for probate. Depending on your specific situation, you’ll either need a grant of probate or a grant of letters of administration. 7. Sort out the estate and pay beneficiaries. Once you have received your grant of probate, you have the legal authority to administer the deceased’s estate. This includes things like claiming life insurance policies, paying off debts and taxes, and selling or transferring property. You’ll then be able to distribute assets to beneficiaries in accordance with the Will.
