Espalier hedge by the old road to Shawford
Opposite the memorial hall an espalier hedge has been planted. The trees are now set enough that their training support has been removed, but their foliage has not yet grown. The road was surprisingly busy when this photograph was taken.

Beckington Memorial Hall
It's the first Thursday in May, so the hall is being used as a Polling Station. 11:45 and lots of democracy in action.

Beckington Recreation Field
A corner of the Memorial Hall is just visible on the left. "The Village Hall was created out of money raised by the people of Beckington, following the world wars, as a Memorial to those local people who lost their lives for the country." http://www.beckington.org.uk/amenities/memorialhall.htm#history
The ground is used by Beckington Cricket Club http://www.beckingtoncricketclub.co.uk/history.php .
But keep your dog on its leash, and do remember to take faeces away with you.
