Inside this month we delve in to the past with Windrose Rural Media Trust who save archive film from Wiltshire, Somerset and Dorset, and work with rural communities on educational and creative projects; we meet Swindon ENT consultant Deepak Gupta, who explains how he became a deputy lord-lieutenant of the county; Simon Heptinstall meets Emmanuel Olympitis, a man whose life story reads like a Hollywood film script; the creative Kent sisters from Great Somerford discuss their diverse art work with Anne Holland; Nick Fogg finds out about a floating charity on the county’s waterways; 180 years down the line, Margaret Brecknell looks back at how the Swindon Railway Works shaped the town; why we should take Malmesbury’s flying monk more seriously; where to discover carpets of snowdrops on your doorstep.
