Welcome to Hallaton
Hallaton's website
The story so far... Pauline Ingham has done some excellent work providing information and articles about our museum, but there is little else on this site.
What next.... inspired by a presentation a few weeks ago, a small band of volunteers are keen to turn this into a valuable village resource. The aim is that it will be a single place to access information about the village, meeting the needs of both resident's and visitor's alike.
Over the summer there are plans to begin gradually adding pages for different organisations and groups. The cricket team, church and yoga class are among the 'guinea pigs'.
If you would like to be involved, please contact Denis Kenyon - Hallaton 602 or Christine Searancke - Hallaton 564 or email either of them at hallatonadmin1@googlemail.com.
Finally, do remember to bookmark www.leicestershirevillages.com/hallaton so you can watch the site grow and develop.
