Our
Aims - these aims remain the same
● To encourage and promote a greater interest in, and understanding of, the local
environment and its history
● To protect historic buildings in the parish, and especially to conserve the character
of the village of Thorncombe and of the other settlements in the parish
● To oppose unsuitable development in the parish
● To safeguard and enhance the countryside in the parish
● To support nature conservation in the parish
Many villagers are unaware of the turbulent history behind the formation of the
Trust and the reason for its creation.
Our archives have a wealth of information in the form of minutes, letters and press
cuttings from the time.
We are starting to digitise these and hope they provide an interesting insight into
the history of this long-running village organisation.
