 Measham and the Mease Valley to 1300 AD
Both Measham and Repton were within the Lichfield diocese whilst villages to the east of the parish were in the Leicester diocese.
The dispute was settled in favour of the prior but it again signifies the growth of Measham in that their parishioners felt the need for a full time priest to service them.
However, from examination of the surviving maps of Measham it would seem that the manor house- if this is the correct term - was located to the north west of the church by a small stream which would have provided for the water needs of the occupants.

Rolling Stone, January 30, 1974 JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE STAGE By Cameron Crowe [part TWO of four] The backstage area, as always, is a visual cacophony of stray orchestra, choir and band members of all ages, sizes and colors.
Head in hands, a rumpled David Measham (who has, on occasion, conducted the London Symphony Orchestra and otherwise tried to marry classical forms to rock, as on Neil Young's Harvest) sits off in a corner.
They love him." One senses in Measham's pal-ish attitude the same level of respect, though in conversation he's more likely to be complaining about untended business in London - TV commitments and the Symphony - than talking about the tour.

This reissue from several Unicorn-Kanchanas is very welcome not least for Measham’s wonderful reading of Barber’s First Symphony (cast in one continuous movement) which deservedly won a three-star rating in the Penguin Guide.
But Measham’s readings of the turbulent opening movement and the equally assertive Passacaglia are just as powerful.
But, although I applaud Measham’s beautifully evocative accompaniment, I would have welcomed a more mellow voice that would imply nostalgia, memories recollected in maturity.

 The ASHBY CANAL Leicestershire
The railway mania of the 1830’s and 40’s did little for its fortunes and in 1846 the canal was sold to the Midland Railway for £110,000, a considerable loss against construction costs of £184,000.
Deep mining in the area has ceased and subsidence largely finished, so it is now possible to consider restoring this predominately rural canal.
An imaginative proposal is to route the canal past the old Measham Station, which is similar to the one at Shackerstone.
