Home Page

This is the website of our village which lies below and to the West of Ham Hill, just to the South of the A303 in South Somerset.

It is a village that in years gone by was heavily into agriculture (fruit and flax), and also supplied labour for the ham stone quarry on Ham Hill.

The present day village is a thriving community that has many social groups who really do make this place an enjoyable place to live and work in the middle of South Somerset

In the pages of this site you will be able read about our social lives, locate us, that is if you wish to come and see us! Or, you can view the photographs of the village and the surrounding countryside.

We also publish a list of forthcoming events and report on events after they have happened in the village. Also there is a list of the businesses in the village and photographs of our Parish Councillors, providing the camera can stand the strain! ........ It did.

The Dove Cote in the Graveyard

We have a list of groups that operate in the village one of which may be your bent, if you wish to contact anyone then we ask you do it through the e-mail system, either to the below address or, if one is listed then direct.

The idea of setting up this site was to allow the ex-pats who are now situated through out the world to keep in contact with us and have up to date information what is going on in their village. It also allows for the local folk to read about what is going to happen and also the newsletter, if their spouse has thrown it out with the rubbish by mistake.

The History Society has a large section on which can be found The Pittard Index which lists the Births, Marriages and deaths at St Mary's Church since 1558 to the present day in alphabetical order. Also the Local Census lists for 1851 and 1901

This site is in no way intended to replace items such as the newsletter, it is here for interest and research and entertainment.
