On Saturday 20th September we welcomed the Yeovil Archaeological and Local History Society members to the Old Chapel for a talk from Andrew McCarthy on the renovation of the building. Everyone enjoyed the visit and a lovely comment was left - Beautiful and Honest. Also thank you for your donations.

Really good to be back at #Tolpuddle for the rally after a gap of a few years, and to spend time at @tolpuddleoct.bsky.social, recently restored and finding new life.
