The Town and Manor of Hungerford has a new Constable.
Julie Lloyd was appointed and sworn in at a ceremony at the Town Hall on Monday 24th October, following the recalling of the Hocktide Jury.
Peter Joseph, as outgoing Constable, is pictured handing the chain to Julie. Peter announced last week that he had taken the difficult decision to step down from the role due to ill health.
After three years of planning, over twenty reports from expert consultants and an extensive and in depth public consultation, the planning application for the Kennet Valley Wetland Reserve, to be developed by the Town and Manor of Hungerford, has now been submitted to West Berkshire Council.
Spotted in Hungerford on 12th September 2023 by the Town and Manor’s River Keeper, Rob Starr, this is a rare Clifden Nonpareil or Blue Underwing moth largest of the species Catocala fraxini.
After the resignation of the T&M’s CEO, Ellie Dickins, in April 2023 the T&M Trustees have voted not to continue with the role of CEO.
Can You Help Us?
The designs that are carved within the pillars and stonework at the front of the Town Hall are absolutely stunning, BUT we have very little information about them!
Do you have any knowledge of these designs? Do you know the name of the person who worked with designs such as these?
Reach out as we would LOVE to know more!!

Are there no records/books from back in time?
Freeman’s Marsh covers 90 acres of wildlife habitat! How lucky are we, that this is on our doorstep.
It straddles the Rivers Dun and Kennet, and the Kennet and Avon canal to the west of Hungerford. The marsh is home to a wide variety of wild birds, plants and animals – some of which are rare in southern England.
However, some of the wildlife species associated with the Marsh, such as water voles and ground-nesting birds, have declined over recent years.
Please do make sure that you keep to the footpaths to ensure that nesting birds and other amazing wildlife aren’t disturbed! We would hate to lose them.

*there may not be a dinosaur on the marsh ☹️

Fond memories of fishing the Dunn with Lt Col Reggie Ian Purbrick Purbrick around 40 years ago. Would love to purchase a season ticket, but it sadly isn't the river it was.
Unique!
Something very exciting is happening within The Town Hall Complex this coming Sunday.
Pop down and see the wonderful things on offer!

🐄 Cow Alert 🐄
Thank you to everyone who keep an eye on the wonderful cows on the common.
If you do find a cow that doesn’t seem well, please feel free to email;
The Hayward on Philip.porter@townandmanor.co.uk
Other ways that the message of a poorly girl gets picked up (and usually very quickly) is by posting it on to Hungerford social media pages, or pop in to The Downgate where they will pass any messages on or message this page! This page is monitored by many trustee’s and someone will see it quickly.
Once again; thank you for helping us keep the cows safe and well!

Berkshires Local Nature Recovery Strategy workshop was held in the Corn Exchange at The Town Hall last Tuesday.
The wonderful team at ARK gave an amazing presentation on the work that they have been doing lately. We had had representatives talk about the new Wetland project that we hope will be kicking off later this year.
So much amazing information in such little time!
