The Lubenham Heritage Group
is a member of the British Association for Local History and was formed in 2001 after it was recognised that many people were interested in the history and heritage of the village and surrounding area. It is a lively and thriving group which takes an active role in the life and affairs of the community.

- Soups to Suspenders – 14th January 2025
Mike Stroud will tell us about the two Symington brothers who moved from Scotland, in the early 19th century, to Market Harborough to set up what was to become two large international companies. Both companies were wildly diverse in nature and went in different directions to achieve what was two of the most successful Market Harborough employers, employing hundreds of people in and around the area.
The story will tell of both sides of Symingtons – Corsets and Food manufacturers, and will give an insight in how both companies developed into the force they became.
