Welcome to the Batcombe Parish Council Website
The Parish Council's website is continually being developed and will gradually provide more information about the parish of Batcombe, local organisations, news and events - as well as those documents the Parish Council is required to publish.
BATCOMBE is a parish in the east of Somerset between Frome and Shepton Mallet, which consists of the villages of Batcombe and Westcombe together with a number of outlying hamlets and farmsteads. At the centre of the parish lies St Mary's Church with its magnificent 16th century tower, the Three Horseshoes pub, and a community centre consisting of the award-winning Jubilee Hall and the Old School Rooms. (To learn more about the Jubilee Hall and Old School Rooms click on the link to the Village Hall Trust website.)
News about BATCOMBE
Allotments
Due to a lack of interest in renting an allotment, the Parish Council has decided that it will no longer provide allotments in Batcombe. The four current allotment holders have been given notice to quit their allotments by 31st October 2026 and the Parish Council will restore the allotments field to its original condition before returning it to its owners in April 2027.
The allotments opened in 2009 and at one stage there was a waiting list of parish residents wanting one of the ten allotments. However, interest in keeping an allotment has dried up and in recent years the allotments have only been kept going by renting to allotment holders outside the parish, from Wanstrow and farther afield.
