A Village on the Blackdown Hills
Welcome to Hemyock Sunday, November 24 2024 @ 06:45 am UTC
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.
A series of photos taken by Jack Pursell and others during the development of the Longmead sports field has been added to the website. They make a fascinating historical record of progress so far, and illustrate the huge amount of work undertaken. View Slideshow
The official twinning with the region of the Jumelage des Grees and the Upper Culm Twinning Association took place in France recently (24th May 2008). Hemyock and Clayhidon were united with the French villages of Anetz, Pouille, La Roches Blanche and St. Herblon. View slideshow
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.

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.
The May Meeting is on Thursday 8th May with Chris Dracott presenting "A Family of the RAJ."
A delightful display of entertainment was presented by the girls of 1st Hemyock Brownie Pack at a parents' evening to close the term and to help them obtain their Entertainers badge.
