I've been made aware of a new publication which looks at fourteen archaeological mysteries/controversies arising out of fakes or misrepresentations over the period 1830s-1930s.

One of the chapters is devoted entirely to Pen Pits. It focusses on the row between Winwood and Kerslake and is an important turning point in…

An amount of cash has been found today (not by me) on the road somewhere in the village. If you think it could be yours, please message me & I'll put you in touch.

Hi, if anyone has seen 3 hens, (they have disappeared from The Croft on Chapel lane), please can you let us know. We have a white one, a black one and a brownish one with white speckles. They are quite independent and often potter up the lane and along the verges but always come home - except they didn't return on Monday evening and we haven't seen them since. Thanks, Helen

Final preparations are underway for Pen Selwood’s 66th Traditional Fete this Saturday afternoon.  Everything is organised and run by the villagers themselves, apart from the provision of the free entertainment for the children who attend ~ this year the chance to try as many different Circus Skills as they wish.

This year, Fete visitors will find the Pen Teas in a marquee located behind the Village Hall in the  Churchyard.  This is to provide better ventilation and spacing to keep…

If anyone is venturing to the Pub Night tomorrow Friday 6th August) at the Village Hall who would still like to make a contribution to the bottle stall for the fete, please bring your donation along and it will be gratefully collected.
