Tipton Ladies Group – Devon Air Ambulance (DAA)

After Easter we welcomed Mr Simon Card OBE to speak to us about Devon Air Ambulance. In 2011, Mr Card moved to Seaton with his wife for a lifestyle change taking over the running of a local Bed & Breakfast. It was here that he first spotted a Devon Air Ambulance collection tin on the communal dining table and having worked with charities in the past, Simon enquired about how he could get involved and begin to support Devon Air Ambulance.

Tipton St John VE Day Celebrations

VE Day Event: A village celebration

A sunny (chilly) evening on the Playing Field We had a great turnout, with families and friends gathering in one corner of the playing field. Children played between the labyrinth, playing field, and the newly-installed boules pitch, which which added to the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.

Church of St Gregory, Venn Ottery – Saved Again?

The church at Venn Ottery has had a pretty chequered history dating from at least the twelfth century. In Norman style with its red sandstone tower and medieval ring of three bells for some 726 years from 1205 to 1931 it was a ‘chapel’ for St Gregory, Harpford. The meagre records we have indicate it was built much as we see it except the nave and tower may both have been timbered and the nave thatched in Saxon times.
