Broad Oak
The ancient Oak tree in the Recreation Field suddenly fell over, without any warning, on the 25th January 2024. There was an outpouring of grief not only from current residents but also many previous parishioners who remembered the Oak fondly. The tree featured on Westcountry Live and there were also reports in newspapers and magazines. On the 29th January 2024 the Parish Council held a Public Meeting when many residents expressed their ideas for the future. From this meeting the Broad Oak Working Group was formed with the aim to help memorise the Oak Tree and to provide a legacy in its name that will provide suitable and sustainable artefacts, encourage interesting and educational studies based on the tree and its life and place in the village and sociey. Further information and details can be found in the "General Report dated 1st May 2024" below.
