Sorry if this sound like an extract from a travel guide that’s probably because it is, well sort of.

Rothley Court’s recorded history goes back beyond 1086 when it was mentioned in the Doomsday Book.

The Holy Order of Knights Templar built the chapel here sometime after 1228 when they acquired the Manor House from Henry lll.

Rothley Court is also famous because William Wilberforce drafted his “Treaty for the Abolition of Slavery” while staying at the Court in the 18th Century.

The last 2 photos are by a church in Leicester. Late in the afternoon on the day I arrived I went for a drive, saw it, stopped and had a wander until it got dark. Trouble is I don’t remember its name, sorry.
