The Kelcey Walks
A special limited edition book, ‘The Kelcey Walks’ lavishly
illustrated with photographs from the last century with an intriguing
‘then and now’ photo section. Using a series of five walks
around the village as written by the Reverend Edward Food-Kelcey in
1908, you can retrace his footsteps and easily visualise Quorn as
it looked exactly 100 years ago. This book is a ‘must’
for anyone with an interest in the village or a desire to visualise
their street as it appeared in days long gone.
The style of the book is a joy to read, the Reverend leads you around
the village pointing out places of interest, dropping in intriguing
snippets of local gossip and relating anecdotes told to him by some
of his elderly parishioners of rural village life in the 1800s. It
evokes a time when the world seemed a more peaceful, tranquil place,
almost devoid of traffic noise and pollution.
