Welcome.

We are the Local History Society for the parish of Thurcaston and Cropston, in the Charnwood area of Leicestershire.

We are gradually building up this website to include information about our society, the history of our parish and information for family historians.

If you have any information or photos of Thurcaston or Cropston we would love to hear from you. We will not publish any material you provide without your permission. Please contact us.
