The quintessential essence of the Vale of Pewsey
– Kennet Local Plan –
The Pig Race Night held in mid-October was a huge success and a lot of fun was had by everyone who attended. It was an initiative by David Blanchard to raise funds for maintenance within St. Peter’s Church and a massive £1,000 was achieved – it was split £750 to St. Peter’s and £250 was donated to the village hall. Many thanks to everyone who helped make the evening a success and a special thanks to Sue & Allan Gardner who organised all the food & the racing.

Steve’s leaves
Dr Rothwell, an agricultural scientist, is in charge of the two farms at Woodborough where salad leaves are grown on the Pewsey Vale’s rich sandy soil. He said it was important to ensure the leaves had reached their full, sweet, juicy flavour – just like freshly picked peas before they were harvested.
The SwanboroughTump
Since 1979 the site has been marked by a stone erected by a former Chairman of the Parish Council, Mrs. Kathleen Hoare, who was then living at Frith Copse. A more impressive monument, in the form of a Sarsen stone from Mullins Farm, ManningfordBohune, has now been kindly presented by Vitacress Salads Ltd and handsome donations from two local residents have enabled the Sarsen stone to be erected, the earlier memorial stone is to have an additional inscription recording the visit of Alfred the Great in the year 871 when he succeeded his father and 3 elder brothers as king, and the setting is to be improved.
