Westbury-sub-Mendip village hall
The villagers had hoped to be able to use the recently built schoolrooms as a public venue but were denied; they subsequently embarked on a strenuous fund-raising effort to secure a suitable community resource. The village hall was built by local builders the Dennis brothers in just three months. The cost of the land and the building was around £350 and these funds were raised by the villagers over a period of time. It was officially opened on Wednesday, 10th December 1913 by Mrs Graves-Knyfton of Uphill Manor. The local church bells rang in celebration.
Perhaps there is a bridge afternoon in progress today. Or possibly the weekly poker tournament?

Ruined Reynard
An unfortunate sight on the A371: one fox has met its maker, along with what looks like many other wheels afterwards. The pitiful sight of a little black nose and an ear mark it out.
