Old Village Shop Sold At Auction

Earlier this afternoon, the old village shop in the square sold for it’s guide price of £175,000 at Symonds & Sampson’s Property auction held in Sherborne. (More details of the property can be viewed HERE)

Alastair Boyd, with his wife Dee ran the shop for several years.  After Dee died, Alastair closed the shop and this led to the creation of our wonderful Broadwindsor Community Stores which opened in March 2013.

The Grade II Listed building has 3 bedroomed living accommodation above and a small garden at the rear. After lying empty for ten years, the property will require some modernisation and improvement.  With the necessary work that has to be done there together with the work going on at The White Lion – the look of Broadwindsor’s village square is rapidly changing.

We look forward to welcoming the new owner
and wish them every happiness in their new home 🙂

Thank you to Richard Thornborough for the photograph above which shows the village shop in the Edwardian era 🙂

T-Shirt With Village Slogan

As many will be aware the T-shirt logo poll closed recently with the slogan ‘Where Community Matters‘ receiving the most votes.  There were 2,768 votes cast with the winner receiving nearly 30% of them.

The sponsor, who wishes to remain anonymous, has stated that a small company StuartAusten.co.uk has been asked to research how and where the T-shirts can be produced.

Originally, the sponsor had stated that any profits for the sale of the T-shirts should be put forward to support the Save the White Lion fund. However, given the fact that this worthy cause has exceeded its target, it has been decided that the profits will go towards the purchase of a memorial for those lost in conflict.  At present no external memorial exists in the village.

T-shirts will be £15 and the size chart is below:

If you have any questions or orders, please contact my private e mail: chagoigray@gmail.com putting T-shirt in the subject title.

Thank you.
Adrian Gray.
