Over the years we have collected quite a number of images, mainly of people. We would like to know names, and more about them, and it is quite possible that someone may information that will enable us to include more detail, and put the events into perspective. Regardless of this, they often give a brief insight to life as it was all those years ago. If you can help send us an e-mail, or call 01460 30026.

 Winsham Drum & Fife Band, that is mentioned in the early School Logs. The date of the picture is 1857.Anyone know the name of the dog? Or anything else about this picture, which is a wonderful example of very early photography, presumably taken by one of the 'gentry' -the Box Brownie did not arrive on the scene for another 45years! |
 Whoever they are they seem happy enough at their work, although the horse seems a bit cheesed off. |
 This is the Empire Day celebration of 1912.Does anyone remember being there? If so tell us about it. |
The 1912 picture is by courtesy of Chard Museum. Can anyone tell us more about the Winsham Club-it was obviously a flourishing village organisation in its day.
