Sad News

I am sad to report the passing of Dennis Hammond who was Timberscombe Postmaster for 35 years and was a lover of Timberscombe and Exmoor. Following his retirement, he and his wife moved closer to their family. Our thoughts go out to his family, in particular his wife Vivien, who we all knew so well.

I have attached the Order of Service for his funeral, provided by his son Paul.
