Hemyock

There is only one telephone box in the Parish of Hemyock and according to Parish Councillors it appears to be used regularly. 

Over 100 people took the opportunity to enjoy a Music Soiree at the home of Jean and Philip Vowles of Hemyock when £400 was raised. The two charities to benefit equally are the Blackdown Support Group and the Devon Air Ambulance.

Many visitors took advantage of the beautiful grounds and views as the earlier section of the evening’s entertainment took place in front of the conservatory before moving indoors. Those taking part varied from primary age children to the more mature.

Hemyock was hit by a terrific storm at 7pm on Thursday 27th May.  The storm was centred on South Somerset with Crewkerne and Ilminster being badly hit; the edge was bad enough. Within minutes the Recreation Field, Bowling Green, the road and gardens of South View and surrounding areas were submerged as rain relentlessly beat down amidst thunder and lightning.

Each organisation pays £10 per year (to cover costs) which give access to editing their space on hemyock.org, this website.  This allows them to have and edit a Static Page as shown on the left hand bar; to be able to make a Calendar entry as shown on the right hand bar, and to enter a Story, like this!   Having lots of local information from local people keeps it current and informative.

If you would like your organisation in Hemyock to be able to do this, see Website Info at the top right and contact us.

The recent “Annual Parish Meeting” at Hemyock reflected the confidence which the Council and its community have going forward.

Following the service to celebrate Pentecost (Whitsun) at 11.15 am on Sunday 11th May the Parish Church of St Mary's will be closed for a period of approximately 5 weeks whilst the interior is redecorated.
