Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pevsner wrote that "Leicestershire is not a county of extremes" and agreed that "no other county in England surpasses Rutland for unspoiled quiet charm". The large and the small Midland counties possess a varied and rewarding range of buildings. Church architecture encompasses the classical Normanton, preserved in remote isolation from the flood of Rutland Water, to Market Harborough with its elegant medieval steeple, and a fine group of Victorian churches in Leicester. The major country houses include Belvoir Castle, Staunton Harold and Burley-on-the-Hill, while the more modest homes of the late nineteenth century include notable work by Ernest Gimson, Voysey and a garden city at Leicester by Parker & Unwin. Leicestershire also possesses fine modern buildings, from its architecturally progressive schools to the justly renowned buildings of Leicester University, dominated by Stirling & Gowan's Engineering Building.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The County Avifaunas are a growing series of books, each of which gives details of the status and range of every species on the county list, with a detailed breakdown of rarity records. Each has introductory sections describing the county's ecology and habitats, climate, ornithological history and conservation record. This new avifauna covers Leicestershire and neighbouring Rutland, an area with a particularly strong birding tradition - the Leicestershire & Rutland Ornithological Society is one of the largest county bird clubs in Britain. The region holds some of England's most important inland reservoirs, including the largest, Rutland Water. This massive lake holds some 10,000 wintering birds of a variety of species each year, and has an impressive rarity list as well as some of England's few breeding Ospreys. The county also has important woodlands, gull roosts and river habitats. Rutland Water is the home of the British Birdwatching Fair, the most important trade fair in the birding calendar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leicestershire and Rutland, home to English football¿s 2016 Premier League Champions ¿ and also home to some of England¿s best kept secrets: beautiful countryside, pretty, quintessentially English villages, and a rich and diverse history. Not so secret, though, is the fact that the already historic city of Leicester has been firmly put on the international map recently, with the discovery of the remains of Richard III and his high-profile reinterment in Leicester Cathedral. And of course, Richard III, the Wars of the Roses and Leicester¿s pivotal connection with the English Civil War are amongst many topics covered in Leicestershire and Rutland: Unusual & Quirky in depth, from the Stone Age to present day. However, lurking not far beneath the surface of both counties is a host of oddities and peculiarities that turn the apparently staid and conventional into something much more intriguing. Therefore even the Conventional Leicestershire & Rutland section sees its County History interspersed with the book¿s idiosyncratic ¿Quirk Alerts¿; like anecdotes covering Roman latrine management, how Robin-a-Tiptoe Hill became so-named, and the meaning of bizarre Leicestershire terms such as Gongoozlers and Yawny Box! Naturally, though, it is the Quirky Leicestershire & Rutland section where things turn very strange, and where a seemingly random almanac of 55 Leicestershire and Rutland places have their quirkiest facts laid bare: like which village has a cow-milking organist, which had a beerswilling fox, another a wig-detecting phantom, and yet another a parson who tied 58 bulldogs to 58 apple trees to prevent scrumping! Or what about which Leicestershire village was hit by a meteorite, which one saw doves dictate the build of a church, and which one still fights annually over a hare pie! Alternatively, find out which Rutland village had a fourteenth-century rector involved in serious organised crime, which one is twinned with Paris, and which one is home to a truly mind-blowing historical revelation. If you think you know Leicestershire and Rutland, read this fascinating and profusely illustrated book and think again¿
