Local Society keeps
Devonshire Traditions Alive
The
Lympstone Society is the local amenity
society. It was formed during
Conservation Year in 1970, and now has
over 200 members. The Society has been
given some valuable old records and
photographs, and warmly welcomes any
additions to preserve for posterity;
photographs or documents can be
photocopied and the original returned to
the owner. Tape recordings have been and
continue to be made of some of the older
residents' tales of life in the village
seventy or eighty years ago. The Society
has a copy of the Tithe Map of 1839 and
other documents of interest. Because of
damage or vandalism, these are now being
stored in a private house. Access to them
is however open to all at any time;
please ask at the Post Office in the village or e-mail the Society's Public Relations Officer, Jane Johnson. Much of the village's history is also now available for all to enjoy on the Lympstone Millennium Map.
The
Society arranges a mixed programme of
events including talks by experts on
conservation and matters of general
interest. Concerts and choral events are
held regularly and visits to places of
interest are arranged during the summer.
The
Society has presented a silver cup for
the best florally decorated business to
be competed for in the Britain in Bloom
competition. Lympstone has had many
successes in this competition and in the
Best Kept Village competition in the
past.
