The next phase of the play area redevelopment has begun (9/12/19), so part of the play area will be temporarily fenced off.
There should be minimal disruption over the next few weeks. This phase will include the new fencing, slide from the tower structure, a new rubbish bin and new gates.
The Touchwood team have been amazing working in the terrible weather this week. This phase should be completed by the end of next week.
We will keep you up to date on the progress.
“ An Utterly Good Man –The life of F. D. Maurice” , an academic , Victorian vicar and author, who established colleges for the education of both women and men, believed that capitalism was rooted in greed and helped to give legal status to co-operative bodies such as working men’s associations. He was a member of the Royal Commission discussing the Acts of law which gave police the right to arrest prostitutes, forcibly medically examine them and confine them in a lock up hospital.
“Professor Maurice remained firmly and conscientiously opposed to the Acts to the very last.” Close, Francis (1872).

We are excited to announce the winners of the 2019 Scarecrow Trail!
October 2019 was the 5th year of the Frampton Cotterell Scarecrow Trail. This year, the chosen theme was characters from the stories by Dick King-Smith. This echoed the decision of the parish council to commemorate the famous author who lived and farmed in the village for many years. Dick King-Smith immortalised many of the animals from his farm and the surrounding countryside in his work.
The standard of the entries this year was very high, but the following were voted the winners by the public:
1st place, The Adventurous Snail.
2nd place, Aristotle the Witch.
3rd place, The Water Horse.
Below are the pictures of the 3 winners who each won a Dick King-Smtih book signed by his daughter, Juliet King-Smith. You can read more about Juliet’s visit to the village here.
Thank you to everyone that took part in the scarecrow trail this year, all of your entries were fantastic and we can’t wait to see your designs next time! If you have any theme ideas for the 2020 trail, feel free to send them over to us at office@framptoncotterell-pc.gov.uk
On Wednesday 30th October 2019, residents of Frampton Cotterell and Coalpit Heath were able to truly express and honour the memory of our distinguished historic celebrity, author Dick King-Smith. His daughter, Juliet King-Smith, kindly travelled to visit us and spent the whole day here, she had a very busy itinerary.
Throughout the morning, Juliet walked around the scarecrow trail and enjoyed seeing all the characters from her father’s book in scarecrow form. Juliet’s face lit up when she saw the scarecrows. She enjoyed her time so much being back in the village, she has said a few words summarising her day:
Juliet praised all the scarecrows that she viewed on Wednesday 30th October, saying, “Thanks for a terrific day on Wednesday. It was so nice to be in Coalpit Heath again. I loved the brilliantly-imaginative scarecrows…”
Juliet went on to reflect on the fun she had telling stories at the Manor Hall, “The gathering in the hall that used to be the primary school went very well, I thought, and it was nice to meet some locals and their kids and to read, ostensibly, to the children, but I noticed the parents and helpers seemed to enjoy listening in too.”
You can read more about Juliet’s visit and the scarecrow trail by reading this article by Stella Beecher, who spent the day with Juliet.
Thank you to everyone that took part in the scarecrow trail this year, all of your entries were fantastic and we can’t wait to see your designs next time! If you have any theme ideas for the 2020 trail, feel free to send them over to us office@framptoncotterell-pc.gov.uk
