A village in Leicestershire and in the heart of the National Forest, overlooking Thornton Reservoir.
There will be restricted access through the churchyard via the Lychgate all day on Wednesday 4th January from 8am to allow the felling of another diseased beech tree.
To access the reservoir please use the footpath through the recreation ground, the path by the side of the school, or via Reservoir Road.
I am really sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
