A big thanks to Simon Lee for initiating the get-together on Saturday down at Well Hill. It was a lovely evening and a welcome opportunity for villagers to meet up.

Just a reminder of our informal social gathering this Saturday 1st August for those that feel ready to get together (whilst observing social distancing) and to see some faces not seen for a while. It’ll also be good to get some fresh air and admire the glorious view from Well Hill. The weather is looking […]

Tom has asked me to inform the village that his father, John Hatherell, died peacefully at home on 13 July aged 82 years. He lived at Westonbirt with his wife, Margaret, but for many years they lived at Burden Court. They did a lot for the village, including funding the repair of a church window […]

We’ve seen the success of the Tresham Support Group via WhatsApp and long may this continue, hopefully well beyond the current situation. On the back of this community initiative we have secured a small grant via the Parish Council and District Councils to support community adhesion. Whilst the WhatsApp group has been a success especially […]

Many villagers will remember Helen Evans who, until September 2016, lived in Farage Cottage. After her father died Helen moved to Cardiff and from there to Herefordshire.

I have been able to add to the website quite a lot of history about the village, entirely due to the memories and research of Michael Gardner, Jim McKenzie and Simon Lee.
