Hi Jo Can't advise on archives etc and don't really have an opportunity to get to them, but I do know that there is a Whitwick Historical group which might have more info for you: http://infolinx.leics.gov.uk/infolinx/infolinx.infolinx_xml.getorgs?ref=1420&template=detail Also, I live in Whitwick, so if you want building photos or gravestone photos let me know and I'll drag the dog and a camera around the village one weekend :-) happy hunting.
