Welcome to our parish

This website tries to capture the feeling that you can only get from living in a small community in the south west of England.

Bell House (old School)

If you live in the parish, then the news is a good place to start.

If you once lived in the parish, but have now left, go to the gallery first to help you remember to slow down and enjoy life.

If you are thinking of living in the parish, click on the "About Us" tab, or perhaps one of the "quick links".

If you are looking up historical information, then perhaps the "Chard Canal" link will help as a starting point.

If you just stumbled in here and just want to look around a bit, then let me suggest that you get into the spirit of village life by following some simple rules, firstly, don't rush, and once you are relaxed, then click on a link and read the text, then imagine what happened a day, a week, a year, a decade, or even a century before, now move onto something else and imagine again.

Park & Ride at Cambria Farm.

Your views are important, so make them known.

New park and ride moves a step closer - By Phil Hill (Somerset County Gazette) A PLANNING application for Taunton's second park and ride scheme went in last week. If the project gets the go ahead, work would start this time next year on the site adjacent to Cambria Farm, at Ruishton, off the A358 and near Junction 25 of the M5. When it is operational in October 2009, its key features would include: *secure parking for up to 1,000 cars.
