  THANK YOU

There is a substantial shortage of foster carers in Wiltshire particularly in Trowbridge, Devizes, Chippenham, Amesbury, Calne, Westbury & Salisbury. This means that some Children in Care are not able to live in their local community and may even have to be home outside of County.

Malmesbury’s Cemetery at Tetbury Hill, Malmesbury, is a valuable green space in an area of town that is being quickly being developed. A recent study undertaken by volunteers, including botantist Ann Skinner, and keen gardeners Melissa Robb and Sue Alexander, and supported by Malmesbury Town Council, showed that alongside its role of providing a respectful place of rest it is home to over sixty types of plants and a large number of tree, shrub, bird and animal species.

 

 

There is an exhibition in the Athelstan Museum about the history and origins of Twinning in Malmesbury. 

From the beginnings in 1954 as a Youth Exchange between Niebull and Malmesbury to the present day with a French Twin Town (Gien) and two Friendship links with Malmesbury South Africa and Bad Hersfeld in Germany (celebrating the the historical link via Lulus, a monk who studied at Malmesbury Abbey)

The exhibition includes gifts and artefacts presented to the town over the last almost 70 years and will be in place for a couple of months.

There is no charge for access to the exhibition or our fantastic museum.
