THE condition of a large Copper Beech tree at the Top of Tuns Hill has been causing concern since a branch fell narrowly missing a resident as they drove towards it in a van. The Parish Council has been asked to make enquiries. The branch landed on and broke the  Jubilee Noticebard.

MONKTON Combe Village Hall have discovered a Bass Drum lettered Chedworth Unionist Band 1887 in their loft while doing renovations.  They have kindly contacted Chedworth offering it as an historic artefact. The existence of a Chedworth Unionist Band has come as a surprise to many and research will have to be undertaken to establish what happened to it.
