Today was just a day spent exploring around Loughborough
with a trip to a local churchyard and a trip up the Loughborough Carillon. It is
quite a modern construction having been built in 1923 and has 47 bells with the
largest weighing over 4 tons! A trip up the tower gives a good overview of the
town and from the top you can see the Ratcliffe Power Station that we passed a
couple of days ago. It also contains a museum to the Leicestershire Yeomanry
with a lot of information about their activities in World War 1.

Tomorrow we’ll move on, possibly down to Mountsorrel where
the crew wants to visit another church connected to her family history work.
