Comments: Regadung the bomb that was dropped behind the
Fox Inn at Thringstone, the lady who ran the
pub Mary Ann Musson was my Great Aunt. The
story I was told was the bomb landed at the
back of the pub in a field and all the windows
were blown out.
The Mussons were either in the bookie or pub
landlord trade. My great grandfather ran the
Three Crowns in Whitwick and was tragedically
killed when his trap overturned by the Church
and he landed on the spikes of the railings.
My father, Herbert Stanyard was steward at
Whitwick working Mens club in the early 1950s
as I can remember living there as a young girl.
Great memories as I probably have visited lots
of the pubs or have memories of them before
they were closed.
many thanks for a lovely web site
Bev Croasdell
PS I'm not sure but I think there was once a
pub in Green Lane

Tried to leave you a message via the relevant
web page,but it came up blank,so I came this way
instead.The web site on Thringstone is
excellent - I have been hooked! I am especially
interested in the Charnwood Forest
Railway/Canal,as I live at Springfield,and
regularly walk my dog in the area (in fact,I
have walked my dogs around here since 1981,so
have seen many changes !!).I will be interested
to hear of any new findings ,and also of new
developments regarding Grace Dieu Priory - my
dog and I are good friends of Rusty Mary : we
visit her at least twice a day!!!
Many thanks, Ro

I found your site after web-searching for the
Charnwood Forest Canal, following the feature
on ITV's 'Waterworld'. I really enjoyed the
historical info associated with this - thanks!

Hello......I was just browsing the net and I
came across your wonderfully amazing website. I
have never seen anything so interesting in my
entire life...so informative. Also I can
officially say that all the information on here
is correct because I was a nun in my past life
and I lived at the priory....I had a very
religious past life and it was very moving to
read all about my old home...It brought back a
lot of things that had slipped my mind....well,
I am in a different body now....450 years
later....so I guess my memories would be quite
weak, but thank you for bringing them back to
life for me. Sister Agnes

Five years ago I first signed the TOL guest book
(now archived) on Millennium Eve. Though prone
to periods of neglect by the webmaster (me !),
its great to see that the site has had a steady
flow of visitors from all over the world and the
frontpage counter now stands at 11,000. Even
better to see that the site is proving to be a
much-used resource by others - for example,
forming the basis of a recently published
booklet, 'The Ghosts of Grace Dieu'.
Unfortunately, during one of my distracted
periods, I lost the domain
name 'thringstone.com', so hopefully this can be
re-acquired, or some other appropriate handle.
Wishing all readers a Happy 2005 - especially
Bekah, Hannah, Imogen and Belle. Also thinking
of those two lucky devils in Australia (Gayle
and James), and me old mate Mark ! - Steve

Hi Dad, I helped you with this guestbook, having
loosing your old one which was about 5 years
old!. We must get people to sign it once again
like it used to be like. I guess I rigged this
guest book up for you! - ((Soooo out of fashion,
I say fancy rig! of all words you said)). Anyway
please sign people and get this site like it
used to be. It should get improving since Dad
hasn`t updated it for a while - ((Thats him)).
But don`t worry I`ll find a way to get him
runnin` up agen!. Bye for now, Hannah.
