  • Schoolchildren celebrate love with church pilgrimage

Local pupils embarked on a whole school pilgrimage recently to celebrate their core value of love.

Pupils and staff from St John’s CofE Primary School joined members of the local church community on a walk to St. Aldhelm’s Church in Bishopstrow to reflect on what love means in the school community.

“Children shared stories of kindness and took part in activities exploring how love can be shown through friendship, courage, and compassion,” said assistant head Charlotte Walker. “This included role-plays of how to show love to others.”

The pilgrimage ended with songs of love and joy in the church, before the children walked back to school.

  • Fundraising quiz night for community green campaign

A quiz night will take place this month to raise money for a campaign to create a community green on Warminster High Street.

The event will take place at the Wellbeing Hub on Friday 26th June at 7.30pm.

The quiz is the first in a series of events throughout the year to raise funds towards the possible purchase of the site next to St Lawrence Chapel and turn it into a green space.

“The more money we raise as a community, the better it looks when we apply for a grant,” said Maggy Daniell from the Warminster Community Green Association.

  • Warminster Museum: Warminster Hospital

In the mid 1800s, towns began to improve local health care by providing cottage hospitals for those who could not afford to attend the few and distant hospitals.

Our first hospital was a converted farmhouse close to Portway. There is, sadly, no photograph of the original Cottage Hospital, but these photographs show its later development.

  • Youth service receives funding boost

Funding of £24,000 has been agreed by Warminster Town Council to continue detached youth work in the town for another year.

  • Western Counties title for young Warminster Boxer

Three boxers from the War Boxing Academy stepped through the ropes on Saturday 23rd May to represent Warminster, with the standout performance, a Western Counties under 60kg title win for Kiefer Darker, reports the club.

First up was Lexi Lee, who faced a stern test against a highly skilled opponent from Somerset. In what proved to be a fiercely competitive contest, Lexi showed tremendous resilience and composure under pressure. Weathering early storms, she grew into the bout and turned the tide with two standing counts, ultimately securing a well-earned unanimous decision victory. It was a performance that highlighted both her toughness and growing ring intelligence.

Next into the ring was Eric Garrett, who took on a hometown boxer in what was always going to be a challenging environment. Unfortunately, Er

  • Chapel upgrades flagpole with help from Imberbus Day funds

A new flagpole has been installed at St Lawrence Chapel using funds raised through Imberbus Day.

The donation came via Peter Hendy, Minister of State in the Department for Transport, through The Hendy and Pendle Charitable Trust, which runs the annual event allowing the public to travel by bus to the ‘lost’ village of Imber.

“We have been conscious for some time that the chapel’s flagpole needed replacing,” said Ian Frostick, chair of the Feoffees and Trustees.

“The old one was a galvanised scaffolding pole, was difficult to raise and lower and surveys raised concerns it could pose a lightning risk.

“Given this advice and the chapel’s prominent position in the town centre, we decided to install a new, high-quality flagpole.

“The Hampshire Flag Company provided helpful advice on the type of pole and installation."

  • Pop-up pool improves swimming skills at local school

Pupils at Princecroft Primary School have taken part in regular swimming and water safety lessons at a pop-up pool on the school site.

The pool was installed by PH ActiveEd for their Swim:ED programme, which aims to improve accessibility to the skill and maximise children’s learning time.

Over the course of a term, children from Year 1 to 6 engaged in regular swimming lessons and also learnt essential lifesaving skills to improve their confidence in water safety.

“Swim:ED has been a positive opportunity for children at Princecroft and children have made exceptional progress over the course of 12 lessons,” said PE leader Kathy Dredge. “We have really noticed the benefits of swimming consistently every day and have enjoyed watching the children grow in confidence.
