Published on by stpetrock1Leave a comment

This important date in the church calendar will take place on Thursday 26th May at 6.00pm in St Petrock’s Church.

The first part of the meeting, called the Vestry meeting, gives everyone in Timberscombe the chance to elect two churchwardens, and this is followed by the Annual Meeting, which contains reports on the happenings of the church over the past year and an opportunity for those on the Church Electoral roll to appoint six members of the Parochial Church Council.

Everyone is welcome to come along to support their village church.

Gardening for wildlife

Published on by Lesley WebbLeave a comment

Timberscombe Parish Council recently hosted the West Somerset Together talk on Wildlife Gardening. With an estimated 124,500 gardens in Somerset, covering 19 square kilometres of the county, our gardens have huge potential for nature. If we all gave a little bit more space for wildlife within our gardens, just image how much habitat we would create overall for nature!

West Somerset Together provided a wildlife survey for participants to see how their own garden rated as a wildlife haven and, importantly, to give them ideas on how they could develop their gardens to be a more wildlife friendly space. If you would like to take the survey click on the following link and scroll down the page.  Take the survey
