Re: Hembury Fort by angieweekender on Friday, 21 June 2019

Over the last few years, a multi partnership project has run to conserve this amazing monument. The owner who is very publicly minded has commisioned a documentary made by film maker Chris Chapman and a website to promote this project. And of course now, there is complete open access to the fort for walkers. I was asked recently to run another project to make a replica of a Hembury bowl which has also been filmed by Chris Chapman for a second documentary to be embedded on the website. This involved a team of people, who dug out gabbro clay from the Lizard, Cornwall , making sessions in my workshop in Plymouth and then a firing weekend at Beacon Cross Copse , nr Talaton, which is 2 miles away, as the crow flies, from Hembury itself.

This is the link for the Hembury fort website and also for this lovely documentary which includes Jim Causely performing a song he wrote celebrating this monument and the Hembury bowl http://hemburyfort.co.uk/

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
