Blackawton is equidistant to the three major towns of the South Hams, namely Totnes, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth. All three towns offer an abundance of eclectic shops, boutiques, galleries, pubs and restaurants, as well as leisure centres, supermarkets and secondary education. Dartmouth, which sits on the banks of the spectacular Dart Estuary is home to the Britannia Royal Naval College. Some of the most popular beaches in South Devon are nearby and the rural and idyllic wilderness of Dartmoor National Park is less than 10 miles distant. Communications are excellent with a fast train service to London available at Totnes, providing access to London in under 3 hours and the A38 Devon Expressway, leading to Exeter, Plymouth and the motorway network is about 9 miles. DESCRIPTION Ebenezer is a beautiful stone chapel that was originally built in 1823 and converted to a private dwelling house in the early 2000s. The conversion included major remedial works to the roof, windows, electrics and plumbing and of course the interior design.

    Parish Magazine Ashprington Cornworthy Dittisham May 2021 Away with the Fairies in 1917. My three year old granddaughter Lily loves fairy stories and so, apparently, did Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes. He totally believed in the Cottingley Fairies. In 1917 two talented cousins, Elsie Wright (16) and Frances Griffiths (9), borrowed their father's camera and went down through the bottom of the garden to Cottingley Beck, a stream near Bradford in Yorkshire. There Elsie took five photographs, beautifully composed, showing her cousin Frances watching with a rapt expression a group of fairy folk dancing in front of her. Other photographs showed fairies flying around and a gnome on the grass. The whole process took about half an hour. Such was the skill of the girls' composition that Elsie's mother believed that the little figures really were fairies. Her father, who developed the images, did not believe they were real and considered that the girls had used cardboard cut outs of fairies in the photographs. He refused to lend them his camera again. Elsie's mother Polly was a Theosophist. She went to a meeting in Bradford which happened to be about fairies. She told the president of the Harrogate Theosophists, Edward Gardner, about the photographs and he examined them. Having pronounced them genuine he later contacted Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a well known Spiritualist, who was writing a piece on fairies for the 1920 Christmas edition of the Strand Magazine. Doyle was totally convinced that the images were real and asked permission to use them in his article.

    Blackawton Beacon June 2019 Published Jointly by the Parochial Church Council and the Parish Council

    Blackawton Beacon June 2019 published jointly by the Parochial Church Council and the Parish Council Sustainable Blackawton from Robin Mewes, James Perry, Sue Hadow, Jan Scott and others A few years ago Blackawton had an informal environmental group which aimed to raise awareness about sustainable issues and promote actions and projects that could support the long term sustainability of the Blackawton community. Recently a few of us met and suggested that it might be a suitable time to relaunch such a group as a community-led development. The idea has been brought to the Parish Council as well as to Blackawton School and it is hoped that many will support the initiative. Some of the proposals could be the establishment of a community woodland area, a community car sharing scheme and regular suggestions on how to reduce the carbon footprint. An informal meeting for anyone who is interested is arranged for: Wednesday 5th June at 7.00 pm in the Village Hall Please come along with any ideas you have and share the vision of growing Blackawton as a Sustainable Community Teddy Bears' Parachute Jump from Kate Janman Sunday 9th June at 2.30 pm Bring your friends, and all their teddies with their parachutes to church and watch them jump! And stay for a cup of tea afterwards. There will be prizes for the best-looking parachute and for the slowest (least fast?) descent. Don't miss this important event in Blackawton's social calendar! For more information ring Kate on 712362 Cocktails on the Terrace from Katy Peters Saturday 15th June at 7.30 pm South View Cottage, next to the village shop Please bring your friends to our drinks evening.

    Ringing Round Devon

    Ringing Round THE GUILD OF DEVONSHIRE RINGERS Devon Newsletter 112: December 2018 ‘to promote an environment in which ringing can flourish’. Last Sunday we witnessed what ‘flourish’ looks like – more of that, Guild Events please. Whilst it is impossible to thank all key individuals by name, I RINGING REMEMBERS would like to pay a special tribute to Vicki Chapman – Ringing Remembers Project Coordinator, Colin Chapman – Coordinator’s ‘roadie’, Alan Regin – Steward of the CCCBR Rolls of Honour, Andrew Hall – developer and administrator of the Ringing Remembers web platform, and Bruce and Eileen Butler – who linked thousands of enquirers to guilds, districts and towers. And there are so many others… My thanks go also to all those who have come to ringing through this route; may you continue to develop in skill and gain many happy years of fulfilment in your ringing. And to that widespread army of ringing teachers who have risen to the challenge of training so many enthusiastic learners – well done! Last Sunday was a day of reflection, a day of commemoration, a day of participation. Bellringers everywhere were able to say: ‘I was there – I remembered’. Christopher O’Mahony The badge issued to all new ringers who registered in time Photo by Lesley Oates Note from our Guild President I think all of our members deserve to be congratulated on the ‘WE REMEMBERED’ – A MESSAGE FROM THE fantastic number of towers in Devon which were heard ringing for PRESIDENT OF THE CENTRAL COUNCIL OF the Armistice on Sunday.
