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.

You can get a free copy of the booklet any time from the Parish Clerk – contact.

You can read chapters about about the work the Council for each period as follows:

1894-1914 1914-1939 1939-1955 1955-1970 1970-1980 1980-1994

The accounts are reproduced from ‘Timsbury Parish Council 1894-1994’ by kind permission of the Council and the author Mrs Veronica Packham.
