We were delighted to receive some photos through from Creative Cullompton, taken of Stacey working on the mosaic with visitors. Thank you to Kathy Coley Photography for allowing us to use these great pictures!
Creative Cullompton Roman Festival
Our part in Cullompton Roman festival, which celebrated not only Roman Cullompton, but the recent archeological digs at the Hill Fort.
Podcast – Creative Cullompton
With guests Vik and Hannah of Creative Cullompton. In the podcast we talk about the amazing Golgotha at St Andrews Church, enthuse about the sheer volume of the local schoolchildren, discuss Creative Cullompton’s next projects and hint darkly at the time Kev nearly got off the train in the wrong county.
Cullompton School Workshops
Our role in this project has been to deliver educational sessions to the two primary schools in Cullompton. Here we talk about the structure of the sessions and inspiration behind the educational content we delivered.
The Great Fire of Cullompton
One of the lesser-known stories of Cullompton is that of the great fire of 1839. We used this tale as the centrepiece of our sessions, and the children had great fun retelling it themselves.
The Gory Story of Tom Austin
On the High Street project we have featured a heavily-edited version of the story of Tom Austin, a local highwayman, and Kev has been absolutely desperate to tell the whole tale in a less sanitised format. Here it is. It’s pretty gruesome.
Apotropaic Marks
Visiting the Walronds we found these interesting circular carvings on the fireplaces and doorways. This is the fascinating story of the witches’ marks, also known as apotropaic marks, scratched into surfaces to stop evil spirits from gaining access to the room.
