seasonal and local Widecombe theme. Over the year we should get a good
cross-section of Widecombe life.

Swayling at the top of Widecombe Hill. Featuring a
well-known local thespian. Is he in control?
Swayling is the process of burning off the gorse or heather to enable
the fresh grass underneath to grow and to prevent the gorse from taking
over.

| April 2000 |
The hanging of the mural to cover the view of the bell
tower inside the church whilst the tower renovation is in progress was a
big achievement. This is what it looks like |
 |
| May 2000 |
A difficult month - lots to choose from (Bells, Beating
Bounds, Fun Run). In case you are not sure, this is the start of the
Junior Fun Run. |
 |
| June 2000 |
Another good month for photos. Lots of possibilities from
the beating of the bounds, but we have chosen one from the flower
festival. |
 |
| July 2000 |
The School Fete on the village green was a great success
despite the rain. Here, one nose looks pretty much like another! |
 |
| August 2000 |
The village held a party in celebration of the Queen
Mother's 100th birthday. This is our oldest inhabitant cutting the cake. |
 |
| September 2000 |
Yet another busy month with the capsule burying, Widecombe
Fair and the Tithe Map inspection. We opted for the capsule, even though
there are also some splendid pictures of Widecombe Fair (see
the report page) |
 |
| October 2000 |
Floods dominated the country in October (and on to
November). Although we fared better than most because of our high
elevation, there were localised problems. This is a road not a river. The
bridge is over the Webburn which had swelled and overflowed its banks. |
 |
| November 2000 |
A quiet month, dominated by rain! This was a rare clear
sunset over Corndon Down early in the month. The temperature was dropping
fast and was almost at freezing point when this was taken. |
 |
| December 2000 |
This month's picture has to reflect the White Christmas. It
is a view of Widecombe Village Green. |
 |
| Early February 2001 |
Slight cheating here!
The snowdrops in the valley in early February 2001 just could not be
overlooked. |
 |
| March 2001 |
This is a lovely picture sent to us from Germany after a
visit to Widecombe. The contributor's god-child commented 'There is a
horse in the fog'. Can you spot it? |
 |
| April 2001 |
Not many foot & mouth pictures around us, but we should
record something. The fence cuts off the car parks and the signs are
everywhere |
 |
| August 2001 |
Heather on the moorland is beautiful at the moment |
 |
| September 2001 |

Scabious (click on the picture for a

we would like to hear from you. |

photographed on Widecombe Green. |

Adrian Sampson sent some pictures in a while ago. This is
an unusual one of the Green taken from the vicinity of the Church House. |
