The Rev. Frederick Vaughan [1829-1911]

This is the Rev. Frederick Vaughan who lived in Broadwindsor 1869 – 1884.
His great, great granddaughter is keen for more information.

In Broadwindsor, Frederick had charge of a group of three chapels.  Preaching three times and walking six miles each Sunday.  His evenings through the week were occupied with services in each place, bands of hope and singing classes.  He became Secretary of Dorset Southern Counties Temperance Association and organised Temperance missions in all the chief towns of Dorset and the three bordering counties.  He travelled all over the district organising Temperance societies and missions. Each year he trained a choir of five hundred voices to sing in the annual fete.

Land South Of Fullers Development

The detailed planning shown was published on this website on 19th February (You can read the post HERE).  There remains some confusion as what the planning application WD/D/21/000123 is for.

The developers have already outlined planning permission to build 22 houses and this has been approved. Application WD/D/21/000123 is concerned with the layout, landscaping and possibly the most important – what traffic calming measures will be in place on the Salway Ash road?

Councillor David Leader commented: “In essence we can’t stop the houses from being built but we can potentially influence the layout, design, traffic calming and landscaping. Residents can make their own comments and the Parish Council will submit their collective view based on residents’ opinions and their own.
Please be aware that there are two applications for the land south of Fullers, one is the original outline application which has been passed. The one we need to consider is WD/D/21/000123.
Cllr. Dorothy Rowe and I are collating residents’ views and have spoken to many. I would urge residents to contact us with their views and to make their comments on the Dorset Planning website. We don’t have long to do this.”

The matter is an item on the Parish Council’s agenda for their meeting on Monday 8th March.
You can comment, support or object on this development online HERE until 22nd March 2021. The comment box they give you has a 1000 character limit.  (If you wish to enter more than 1,000 characters, please type your response in a text document and add it as an attachment.)

Wall At Bernards’ Place Almost Complete

 As the wall in Bernards’ Place nears completion, Chris Edgerly had some help at the weekend from Matthew and James Pickering of Broadwindsor. The boys each placed an ammonite into the wall as part of the montage Chris has created from the smaller ammonites donated.

The ammonite montage itself is now complete and Chris hopes to complete the whole wall by the end of this week, fair weather permitting.

Matthew & James’ enthusiasm and involvement prompted a memory for Chris – he recalled from a young age when he was led up a ladder by a bricklayer to cement and lay his first brick. We hope that Matthew and James enjoy their memory and showing their friends with a sense of pride.

Well done all & Thank you.

Beaminster Memorial Fields Closed

At the beginning of this year, Beaminster Town Council announced that Beaminster had been awarded over £98,000 by the National Lottery Communities Fund, (NLCF), to enable them to deliver their Skate Park Project in 2021.  It has taken a while but it will be worth the effort.

Work has now started on the construction for this project and the site is expected to be closed from Tuesday 22nd February for a period of nine weeks.
The park remains open but the car park is closed.

Beaminster Town Council has received two amounts of funding from West Dorset District Council and now the generous NLCF award takes them to their funding target.  This means that that they can now commence the project and, COVID restrictions permitting, they hope to complete it by the summer of 2021.  They will be working closely with Maverick Industries on the build, and the Prout Bridge Project to develop the launch event.

Who’s Buying The First Round?

Monday May 17th?

Following the Government’s announcement of their 3 Step plan out of Lockdown,  The White Lion in Broadwindsor MAY be allowed to open its door on Monday, 17th May 2021 after being closed since forever it seems!

Landlords Spike & Vikki commented: ” We can’t post any days or times yet, we want to wait ’til nearer the time to see what the situation is. It will be good to bring the pub back to life as it should be.”

We are so used to seeing Spike, Vikki, Molly & Tabitha looking like this.
We do look forward to seeing their smiles when we walk in through their door again – smiling too!

To book at the White Lion:

Telephone: 01308 867070
Email: info@whitelionbroadwindsor.co.uk;
Message through Facebook: HERE.

We all have our fingers crossed.

The BBC reports that the closure statistics highlight how the duration of economic support, as well as the vaccination timetable, could be crucial in determining how long doors stay closed.

The furlough wage support scheme is due to finish at the end of April 2021 – whilst business rates holidays for hospitality and leisure firms are due to end early in the same month in each of the UK nations.

The end of March will also see the application period close for Government-backed loans of up to £50,000 to smaller businesses under the “bounce back” scheme.

There are grants available for Businesses in retail, hospitality and leisure more of which will be published at a later date.  Click HERE for more information from the BBC.
