You will be amazed at how quickly it is colonised by insects and even amphibians. When we made one, the newts moved in so quickly that I can’t remember the pond being without them. “A pond is wonderful for wildlife and the great thing is that they are not difficult to make. We dug a hole, used liner with fleece above and below (to protect the liner) and held the rim in place with rocks found in the garden. If you want a fun afternoon with the kids, make a small one with something as simple as a bowl or pot. “Consider boggy patches and ditches too: these encourage wildlife and make a great surround for at least one side of your pond. Above all else, have fun building it and enjoy all the wildlife that arrives. “You can find videos and instructions online. One I particularly like, because it covers large and small ponds, together with those ditches and boggy patches, is the RSPB’s web page: https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and- Three years later Photos: Steve Best wildlife/advice/gardening-for-wildlife/water-for-wildlife/making-a-pond/.

This booklet represents the combined efforts of John Baxter who lives in Bradford on Avon and attends St. Nicholas Church and Linda Brooks who lives in Winsley. Our first port of call was the Winsley Memorial where, every November, we gather to honour the memory of those who died in all wars. Having started to investigate these special men who specifically died in World War 1, it was discovered that there were other memorials in the village. There is one in the Methodist Church which added a new name to our quest, whilst in the Social Club there is an Honours Board that commemorates all those who went to war from the village but had the fortune to survive it.
