A new programme of replacing old gas pipes in Barnstaple commences on Monday 8th July.

As a result, starting on Monday for a week, North Road (road from the hospital down the hill) will be subject to roadworks with temporary traffic lights.

Please plan your journeys accordingly!

 There is a defibrillator in the Telephone Box next to the Muddiford Inn - EX31 4EY 


For Church service information please go to Places of Worship Pages for current services.


Our wild flowers in Marwood are a delight and particularly so in April and 

     If it safe to leave them and I know our verges and areas of grass need to be regularly mown in summer, can we consider not cutting areas where there are lots of wild flowers until they have seeded, so that they will  encourage butterflies and  help support other wildlife too ?


POP-UP-PUB - 19th July 

Hi everyone

Here are our plans for the Marwood Pop Up Pub for July 19th

We are aiming to  head back to Marwood Hill Gardens on Friday 19th July, although if the weather isn't good we will need to revert to the Church Hall, as we did in June.

The Pub will be open as usual from 7pm to 11pm.  Once again we welcome back Rich and Bay from Thongsay with their delicious Thai menu.  I will share that with you in the week of the pub so that you can come prepared with your order.  We are also hoping to have our fantastic jazz band 'Stormy Weather' back with us.

North Shore IPA will feature again as the guest ale and we will be serving summer Pimms too.  If we are in the Gardens, it is definitely worth thinking about bringing fold up chairs to be sure of a seat.  You are most welcome to bring your own picnic too if that is what you prefer.

We are really hoping for good weather so we can begin the summer school holidays in the beautiful setting of the Gardens and hope you will be able to join us.

Bless you
