The Hollow is a 1946 detective novel by Agatha Christie featuring her famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot.
Invited to a weekend country estate by Lady Angkatell, Poirot arrives to find a grim real-life scene by the pool: a dying doctor, John Christow, lying next to a pool of blood with his distraught wife standing over him holding a gun.
What initially looks like an open-and-shut domestic crime turns into a complex web of romantic entanglements, jealousy, and hidden motives among the weekend guests.

Did you know there is a sports club in Thornton held on a Monday evening at the Community centre?
The centre has a badminton court and equipment, two table tennis tables and equipment, and recently purchased pickleball equipment.
Why not give it a go, have fun and get fit.
Contact Paul Muller thorntonmindaysports@gmail.com.
Or if you would rather play with family and friends then you can always hire the hall (see TCC pages for cost), and hire the sports equipment for £10 an hour (£10 refundable deposit on the equipment).

The first of the new annual Thornton Artisan Festival’s was held over the weekend of the 26th, 27th and 28th of June 2026 and raised £2,440.90 for the benefit of Thornton Community Centre. (More information can be found on previous posts).
The money raised will be put towards the upgrading of the heating systems in both halls which is old and failing and very expensive to run (the electricity alone is in excess of £4,000 p.a.).
Following on from this success an application has been made to the National Lottery to fund 41 solar panels on the roof of the Centre to start our journey into becoming energy efficient and carbon neutral as funds allow.
If you have any spare cash and would like to help the trustees fund a number of projects to enhance the facilities at the Centre (new heating, decked area, car park extension) for the benefit of the community for years to come then donations can be made through the following QR code.
There was a paper quiz held over the festival weekend which closed last weekend. 50 cryptic clues to find Leicestershire Place names.
The winner of the £10 prize was Sue Black with 49 correct answers. Congratulations.
This quiz is copyright of Gill Tapping – but if you would like to use it as a local fund raiser then please contact me and make a small donation to Thornton Community Centre. I have a number of this type of quiz written over recent years.
A new fund raising quiz on sweets and chocolates will be out soon. Cost £1. If you would like a copy when it is ready – email: – thorntonvillage@aol.com.
