Teigh, Leicestershire: Thankful Villages

Available for over a year

There’s only one village in Rutland, and three in Leicestershire, which saw all their soldiers who went off to fight in WW1 come home. Saxby, Stretton en le Field, East Norton and Teigh are known as ‘Thankful Villages’, but did the villagers escape completely unscathed? Tony Roe was brought up in Saxby where his father and 24 others came home safely after the war. He and BBC Leicester reporter, Bridget Blair, find out what happened following the war in Saxby and Teigh. Location: Teigh Church, Main Street, Rutland, Leicestershire LE15 7RX Image: Teigh Church
