This free booklet is a brief account of the first hundred years of Timsbury Parish Council and is drawn from the Minute Books in which the Parish Clerks have carefully recorded Council business since its formation in 1894. It was researched and written by Mrs Veronica Packham and illustrates clearly the work of the Council over the hundred years as well as providing an insight into the decision affecting the local history of Timsbury.
