In 1849 concerns were expressed about the ‘excess and immorality’ in the village occasioned by labourers frequenting beer houses.7 In 1855 the vestry meeting agreed to offer a reward for information leading to a conviction after a spate of burglaries in the parish.8 1 See landownership.

The new building delivered by DIO, working with regional industry partner Debut Services (South West) Limited, will provide essential modern sports facilities to support the physical well being of unit personnel. Also housed within the new building is a dedicated remedial suite to support the rehabilitation of injured Marines returning from overseas operations as well as those injured through the day to day rigours of training in the UK. These amenities replace the old facilities housed in a drill shed dating from the 1940s, built during the Second Word War.
