This typewriter joined the collection in late 2022 and so far is the only Underwood machine in the collection. It is a nice looking machine in a bleasing white and beige colour, though does have an annoying case which makes it a chore to get the typewriter in and out of!
The typewriter has received a new ribbon (which was a slightly fiddly task) and types nicely, apart from the shift key which sometimes sticks.
Another typewriter has joined the collection, that makes thirty-four now, no news on when the first chimpanzees will arrive. The latest machine is this rather lovely Litton Imperial 220, a 1970s model that is in very good condition apart from the noticable scratch. The machine arrived without a ribbon but i fitted one of my spares and it types pretty well.
The parish church of All Saints with Holy Trinity in Loughborough, Leicestershire dates from the 14th century (around 1330) and has a Perpendicular design in the Decorated Gothic style. The west tower was added in the 15th century, a memorial chapel is beneath it. The nave has aisles and transepts and also has a clerestory (another 15th century addition). The church has a 14th century chancel.
The church was much restored in the 19th century and is one of the largest English parish churches.
