March 2000
Swaling at the top of Widecombe Hill. Featuring a well-known local thespian. Is he in control? Swaling is the process of burning off the gorse or heather to enable the fresh grass underneath to grow and to prevent the gorse from taking over.
April 2000
The hanging of the mural to cover the view of the bell tower inside the church whilst the tower renovation is in progress was a big achievement. This is what it looks like.
May 2000
A difficult month – lots to choose from (Bells, Beating Bounds, Fun Run). In case you are not sure, this is the start of the Junior Fun Run.
June 2000
Another good month for photos. Lots of possibilities from the beating of the bounds, but we have chosen one from the flower festival.
July 2000
The School Fete on the village green was a great success despite the rain. Here, one nose looks pretty much like another!
August 2000
The village held a party in celebration of the Queen Mother’s 100th birthday. This is our oldest inhabitant cutting the cake.
September 2000
Yet another busy month with the capsule burying, Widecombe Fair and the Tithe Map inspection. We opted for the capsule, even though there are also some splendid pictures of Widecombe Fair (see the report page)
October 2000
Floods dominated the country in October (and on to November). Although we fared better than most because of our high elevation, there were localised problems. This is a road not a river. The bridge is over the Webburn which had swelled and overflowed its banks.
November 2000
A quiet month, dominated by rain! This was a rare clear sunset over Corndon Down early in the month. The temperature was dropping fast and was almost at freezing point when this was taken.
December 2000
This month’s picture has to reflect the White Christmas. It is a view of Widecombe Village Green.
Early February 2001
Slight cheating here! The snowdrops in the valley in early February 2001 just could not be overlooked.
March 2001
This is a lovely picture sent to us from Germany after a visit to Widecombe. The contributor’s god-child commented ‘There is a horse in the fog’. Can you spot it?
April 2001
Not many foot & mouth pictures around us, but we should record something. The fence cuts off the car parks and the signs are everywhere
August 2001
Heather on the moorland is beautiful at the moment
September 2001
Two excellent pictures of Widecombe Village Green supplied by Tor Schofield

Meadowsweet, a common wild flower in Devon and Dartmoor sites, especially damp places
August 2002
Devils Bit Scabious (click on the picture for a larger image – well worth the small waiting time!!)
October 2002
Cones on a conifer in our garden. If you can identify it, we would like to hear from you. (Believed to be a Korean Spruce).
March 2003

November 2003
Mel Harrison has sent in several lovely photos: Ponies on Widecombe Green, the tree-seat on the Green and autumn leaves – again photographed on Widecombe Green.
February 2004
Adrian Sampson sent some pictures in a while ago. This is an unusual one of the Green taken from the vicinity of the Church House.

Widecombe in the twilight. This picture was taken after the hottest day of last August as the last of the light disappeared to the west. The picture is looking across the valley from the east.
