With the brilliant summer we have just had, Andy York Photography has been busy creating a new collection of framed prints, ‘Your Favourite Coastal Locations.’
“We have been visiting some lovely coastal areas this year,” said Andy, “which has inspired me to produce a collection of prints that I hope will include some favourites for many people.”
The new collection will be launched at the next Littlebrook Artisan Market which is on Saturday 13th October. “We always welcome and encourage customers to come into our shop and have a browse” said Christine of Andy York Photography, “so the Artisan Market will be a perfect opportunity.”

A column about days gone by in Melksham by local historian Lisa Ellis
The Independent Chapel and Women’s Rights in the 1840s
A document I recently transcribed lists the baptisms performed at the Independent Chapel. This record is especially helpful in that, along with baptisms, a lot of them include birth dates - one of the ways I discover which day someone was born.
The following is taken from a Wiltshire Times article published on 9th November 1878 which reports a speech given during the 100-year services and to celebrate their renovations (what we now know to be the Rachel Fowler Centre).
One speaker, Rev. T. Mann, minister in Trowbridge, talked about the Chapel’s origins when he related how Rev. Honywill came to Melksham and how he’d gone on to remain as the minister for the Independent Chapel for almost 60 years. [Honywill and his family lived on King Street in what we now call “Legion House”.]
