]]>Dunster Show is one of the major agricultural shows of the West of England. Dunster Show takes place annually on the third Friday in August at Dunster Castle Lawns. This is the 3rd year I have covered Dunster Show, once for the Exmoor Magazine and twice for the Western Morning News.

]]>Bampton Fair is always held in Bampton, Devon on the last Thursday of October. It was granted a Royal Charter in 1258 but is thought to be even older than that. It is one of the oldest surviving Charter Fairs in the country. These are photos I took documenting the 2012 Bampton Fair.

]]>The Diamond Jubilee was celebrated around Britain in many different ways, from the river Thames pageant to smaller, but equally patriotic, street parties. One such community celebration took place in Dolton, North Devon. Dolton is a village with a long history of bringing its people together to mark national occasions and is also steeped in photography, being the home and subject for many years of James Ravilious.

]]>Originally called the Bewley Down Flower, Vegetable and Dairy Show, it was held in a large marquee on a field in Bewley Down just south of the Somerset border. World War One intervened a few weeks later postponing the second show until 1919. The local ‘show area’ was initially restricted to those who lived, were employed or owned land in Bewley Down (which straddles Wambrook, Chardstock and Membury), but grew over the years to include 11 parishes: Wambrook, Chardstock, Membury, Yarcombe, Stockland, Whitestaunton, Combe St Nicholas, All Saints, Churchill, Chard Borough and Chard Parish and boasted that it was the “best flower show between Taunton and Exeter.”

In 1944, the decision was taken to hold a flower show and fete in aid of the Red Cross at The Berea in Wambrook and call it Wambrook Flower Show. This show went back to its roots and, as it was organised on a much smaller scale, the ‘local show area’ was once again restricted to Wambrook and Bewley Down. Many of the same people were involved in its organisation as officers, committee members, judges and businesses e.g. Jarman & Co., Chard seed merchants and nurserymen, which donated a large not-for-competition display of flowers and vegetables to be auctioned off at the show’s conclusion. Since 1944, the show has continued, unabated, until the present day and is currently held at the Cotley Tithe Barn, Cotley, Wambrook.”

]]>For many years Keith was a plaster but was forced to give plastering up due to an injury to his vertebrae caused by repeated neck moments while plastering.

Creating casts for model animals was a hobby at the time of the injury but since July 2016 Keith has turned the hobby into a business. Now based at the popular Farm Park and shop at Doniford Farm Keith makes and sells his casts.
