Published by Wreake Valley Community College for the Frisby-on-the-Wreake Historical Society, August 1979. Printed at County Hall, Glenfield, Leicester.

This is an incomplete transciption of a printed work published in 1979. The book has been in the family since the great family meeting weekend in the summer of that year. I intend to complete the transcription when I have access to a scanner and some OCR software. Richard Brooksby 1997-05-08
