Hemyock

Following a meeting of church leaders in Dunkeswell on Wednesday 18th November, a new ecumenical group has been formed covering the Blackdown Hills and representative of all the main denominations. Springing from an initial idea by Steven Reed, Pastor of Hemyock Baptist Church and co-sponsored by local Anglican Vicar David Sherwood, over 30 leaders met to consider the opportunities presented under the new organisation called “Christians Worshiping Together in the Blackdown Hills” (CWTBH).

David and Meg Palmer of Lower Mackham Farm, Hemyock were recently presented with an award by the British Trust for Conservation Volunteers. They spent time at the Country Living Christmas Fair in the atrium of the Business Design Centre, London before the evening presentation

Over 200 people filled the parish church of St Mary's, Hemyock for the annual Remembrance Sunday service raising over £550 for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
 

The B3391 road between Hemyock and Culmstock will be closed from 9th November to 27th November.  Attached are the official notice and SWH's letter to residents.   Fore Street in Culmstock, the affected road, is the bit just outside the church.  Sounds like Withy Lane is going to be busy for a bit!  There are SWH contact details on the letter to residents.
