Teigngrace

400 people, including David Bellamy and therefore the TV cameras, turned out in the rain for the Teigngrace National Rally, to walk through (?) rivers. Latest development there was when the quarry company who wants to dig up the place, realised that the upcoming public inquiry may get them in trouble for bulldozing Twinyeo Farm, which, as the home of a Saxon lord, is mentioned in the Domesday Book. So they returned to the scene of the crime to dig up the foundations in the hope of destroying its historical significance once and for all. Luckily they were spotted and an injuction was taken out to stop their sneaky vandalism.
