April 2021 - A message of hope

In this issue

We share some remarkable stories from across the county. Later in the year, a blue plaque will be placed on a house in Mere, recognising the extraordinary life of Wolfe Frank, the chief interpreter at the Nuremberg Trials; Mary-Vere Parr catches up with Charlie Bigham, the man behind the food company creating pies on a grand scale; John Wright chats to singer Rosemary Squires, who at 94, is still the girl with the golden voice; a former Wiltshire Life Award winner has transformed their chocolate company with the sweet taste of sustainability; we discover the history behind a Corsham clock; Opera singer Philip Blake-Jones explains how singing is good for our health; Simon Heptinstall discovers what it takes to maintain and repair our church bells when time has taken its toll. We have a fish pie recipe and a selection of wines, ideal for Easter and Dauntseys School has selected a dozen classic books from old to new, well worth rediscovering or reading for the first time.
