We are really excited that our new village walk booklet is now available from the Heritage Centre or New Fountain Inn – price £2. It features twenty sites of historic interest around the village, and is a great outdoor activity for adults and children.

Nothing like a live event! Was lucky enough to be involved in a @devonfhs collaboration with Bow History Society. Nothing beats a get-together with lots of great chat for reminding me why I love this business! God bless village halls and all who sail in them #familyhistory
