St Petrock’s Church and community of Timberscombe extend their sympathies to the King and Queen Consort and to all in their family at this sad time.

On Friday 9th the church bells will be tolled, half muffled, at 12 noon.

The flag will fly at half mast on Friday until Saturday 11am when it will be raised to full height to mark the new Monarch until Sunday at 1pm. Thereafter the flag will be flown at half mast and remain at this height until the day after the funeral.

A Book of Condolence will be available in the church for anyone who would like to add their name and a message. You will be most welcome so to do. The church will be open between 9am – 5pm as usual. Online national Books of Condolence will also be available.

Our next meeting on Monday 19th September at 7pm will focus on some excellent research conducted by Paul Sheldon over the period of covid lockdown and beyond, to locate and identify churchyard memorials and gravestones using a systematic method.

We are delighted that he will present his work to the History Group and hope as many villagers will attend as possible to listen and see what he has prepared. All are welcome!

Hi, my name is Will Thomas, I’m 14 and I live in Timberscombe. Each year, I raise money for wildlife by completing a challenge. I am so thankful to those who supported me last year.

This year I am abseiling for Wildlife!

On Sunday 11^th September I will be abseiling down a 130ft vertical cliff to raise money for the Somerset Wildlife Trust.  I’m not great with heights, so this is going to be my biggest challenge yet. I’m very nervous, but also excited.

Wildlife is important to me, and I want to do my best to help. We are so lucky to live in Somerset. We have some of the most spectacular habitats and wildlife in the country. We have beautiful and rare creatures, wonderful meadows, and ancient woodlands. I want to support and help the Somerset wildlife trust to allow them to continue their amazing work.

I know times are hard with energy bills rising, so please only support me if you can.

I will have a collection jar with Sarah at Timberscombe Post Office from Monday morning, or you can follow the link below to my just giving page.

Abseiling for Wildlife

Thanks, I will let you know how it goes.

Will Thomas
