 Hi,
Let me introduce myself, I am Neil Jenkinson resident of Hartshorne,
and the new webmaster for the web site. As from 19th July
I will be managing and updating the site.
On behalf of the villagers
of Hartshorne and other users of the site I would like to
thank Colin Herbert for constructing the site originally and
for the many years he has spent managing the site.
Colin has personally hosted the site, and having left the
village a few months ago now feels the time has come to relinquish
his involvement.
The site is now sponsored
by the Parish Council to ensure it's continued presence on
World Wide Web.
A
new Hartshorne school website
has been launched. Vicky Ambrose is looking after it. Take
a look!
Ruth and Andy Turner, who live in Grantham, together with
Kathleen Jones who lives in Bridgend, South Wales, are researching
the Pegg family surname. They
established contact via this web site on 5th November 2006.
Ruth and Andy visited our village on 11th January 2007 and
will be coming again. Their research will be published on
this site in due course but any information about the Gaol
Yard Cottages or the Pegg family would be most welcome. Please
email.
The Pegg family lived
in the Gaol Yard Cottages on Repton Road which were demolished
in the 1950's. There are some pictures of the Pegg family
in the picture gallery (see the 'People'
album).
There have been 48,949 viewing's
of the pictures in the Hartshorne
Picture Gallery as of September 2006. There are nearly
700 pictures, old and new, to
look at!
New high resolution aerial picture
of Hartshorne village!
Did you know that since this web site was started, it has
dealt with over 3,000 emails concerning
Hartshorne?

More Hartshorn's visit Hartshorne! Jane (nee Hartshorn) and

Picture
Gallery soon...
In May 2005 a coach full of visitors came from the US, all

Penny has had some very significant contacts from people viewing
this site, concerning her detailed study into the Brown family

tree of Penny Ellis.
Who are the members of the Parish
Council?
Ken Sadler, with his son Ian,
visits Hartshorne after he was evacuated here during the war,
over 60 years ago. See the pictures.
Read his memoirs.
Local
MP Mark Todd comments on the site...
'I had a good look
at the site. It's great! It works really well and has lots
of interesting and useful information. I'm due to update my
site soon and will make sure there's a link. I might raid
some ideas too!'
