The council has collated all the community groups we have identified so far so that those who need support for themselves or a loved one can make direct contact. In the time available we have only been able to collate this directory and therefore this is not an endorsement of the groups listed but it is for you to decide what use you will make of the offers of support at this time. If anyone uses a community group and has concerns about the response/practice please inform us by emailing [email protected] giving the clear reasons for your concern. The council wants to ensure that everybody can access the support they need. If you make contact with a group and they cannot help or you do not get a response within the required timeframe, then please do not hesitate to contact the council by emailing [email protected] and we will ensure you get the support you need. FOOD BANKS At this difficult time, food banks are in need of more volunteers and donations. If you are able to help in any way please get in touch with your local food bank.

  • Wiltshire Churchyard Yews an Inventory
    Wiltshire Churchyard Yews An Inventory By Peter Norton By kind permission of the Wiltshire Geology Group Introduction: Wiltshire is roughly rectangular in shape, measuring about 54 miles from north to south and 34 from west to east. It is bounded in the north by Gloucestershire, along most of its western edge by Somerset, in the south west by Dorset, in the south east by Hampshire and along about half of its eastern side by Berkshire. The name is derived from that of the former county town of Wilton, and was recorded as Wiltunscir in an 870AD docu- ment. Ancient Wilton took the name from the Anglo-Saxon Wilsaetes tribe living on the banks of the River Wylye. The surface geology of Wiltshire follows relatively simple lines. The former cover of Chalk and earlier Cretaceous rocks has been removed by erosion in the basin of the Wiltshire Avon, leaving a prominent scarp trending generally NE/SW across the centre of the County. To the northwest, the Jurassic rocks crop out in succession, dipping south eastwards under the Chalk. To the southeast, the Cretaceous rocks form the high ground of the Marlborough Downs and Salisbury plain. In the southeast corner there are some small outcrops of Tertiary rocks at the extreme edge of the Hampshire Basin. Two major vales finger into the Chalk outcrop, the Vale of Pewsey, floored by Lower Cretaceous rocks, and the Vale of Wardour, which cuts down as far as the Upper Jurassic rocks. Wilts’county records list 451 towns, villages and hamlets. Churches are found in the majority of towns and villages, with 339 having at least one Anglican Church.
