A project to investigate why an aircraft heading back from France to Lincolnshire in 1941 crashed on Dartmoor.
The project will increase the quality of the visitor experience in Widecombe in the Moor. It will interpret the historic nature of specific buildings, tin-mining and Victorian tourism and will tell the story of parish farming through the ages from Bronze Age settlement to “lost medieval manor of the moor”, War time milk production to present day mixed native stock farm.
The Welcome to Widecombe project is beginning to take shape. Designers, Platform One have now been appointed to take the interpretation brief and develop it into information displays, leaflet and walks booklets. The brief was developed over the last year with members of the local community representing local business, the Parish Council and the History Group. The project has been championed by the Reverend Geoffrey Fenton and supported by Andy Bailey from the Moor than meets the eye team. David and Sherren from Platform One were given a tour of Widecombe and had a chance to meet local people at an evening meeting held at the Old Inn. The following day they had a chance to chat more informally with people and begin to gather some of the information needed to take the project forward
