Heritage on your doorstep
Many communities in North West Leicestershire and parts of South Derbyshire took part in "Heritage on Your Doorstep" in September 2020. You can still see the Heritage Boards produced by local communities on the Hello Heritage page of North West Leicestershire District Council's website https://www.nwleics.gov.uk/pages/heritage_on_your_doorstep.
Our own board features Royal links at St Helen's Church, If you would like to study it in detail online, here's a link: /Publisher/File.aspx?ID=263010
The District Council also produced a series of short films about Heritage sites in the area, including St Helen's Church. These can be accessed here: https://www.nwleics.gov.uk/pages/lights_camera_action_heritage.
Our own film, about the unusual alignment of our church and our ancient sundial, can be directly accessed here: https://youtu.be/w5iwKUGGg0g.
