Horninghold Village Community
The village of Horninghold lies seven miles north-east
of Market Harborough in the county of Leicestershire.
The village is over a thousand years old and following
the Norman Conquest in 1066 the village was given to Robert de Todeni,
Lord of Belvoir. In about 1076 he gave the parish to the priory
of Belvoir where it remained until the Dissolution of the Monasteries
in the 16th Century. At the beginning of the 20th Century the Hardcastle
family remodeled the village into what is acknowledged today as
the 'Prettiest village in Leicestershire'
The church of St Peter's was built in the 12th Century
and is currently in urgent need of repair and major restoration.
Horninghold village community have created the SPIRE
project to raise funds for the restoration of St Peter's Church.
We are seeking to raise £100,000 via events and grants.
