TOCT is pleased to announce our first Heritage Talk by TOCT Trustee, Professor Philip Martin. All welcome at The Alresford Historical and Literacy Society this Wednesday evening. alresfordhistandlit.co.uk @HeritageFundL_S @HistoricEngland #history #literary #heritage

TOCT is so grateful for our core group of thirteen volunteers and five trustees.

TOCT  was pleased to arrange a site visit for Josh Gamston, an undergraduate student of building surveying. Our thanks to site manager, John Mullins of Strachey Conservation.@Apprenticeships, @StudyUCEM, @HistoricEngland,@SSHConservation,@RICSnews, #heritage

Update 12 shows the discovery of the original floor level of the chapel, the detailed work to renovate the internal brick plinth & the marking out of the extension to the east. You also get a glimpse into the ‘site control centre’. @SSHConservation, @Greendale_Build

Tolpuddle Old Chapel site this morning. Everything packed away over Christmastide, awaiting construction to restart again on 4th January 2022. @heritagefundL_S @HE_SouthWest @SSHConservation, @Greendale_Build, #Heritage,#Dorset

It would be a shame to be short of funds after all the work which has been involved with this project. If you can spare a few pennies, it would really help. 🙏 #conservation #restoration #oldchapel #tolpuddlemartyrs

Excited to see this project finally getting underway!

FROM OUR ARCHIVE  TOCT website tolpuddleoldchapeltrust.org has recently re attached the video of the 200th Anniversary celebrations of the opening of Tolpuddle Old Chapel in 1818. Here we highlight the first of four short videos about the event.

Great to see how our cob blocks are drying out @HeritageCobLime in Bideford. A step nearer building works. Thank to Sarah Rawle and Ian Cray. #heritage #cob

We are so excited about developing our new team for our young people here in Dorset. We really want to hear from you if you are interested in becoming a specialist carer. We have lots of brilliant people joining us and our arms are open to welcome more.

Visitors to Tolpuddle Old Chapel are used to seeing the lovely willow tree next to the chapel. Sadly, the tree became dangerous and the owners arranged for it to be pollarded. This ensures safety on the public highway as well as protecting the roof of the old chapel.

Great to see Fiona’s story in print. It is a helpful contribution to the story of the families of the Dorsetshire Labourers (Tolpuddle Martyrs), the chapel they built and where they worshipped in the village of Tolpuddle from 1818 to 1834.

Great to read news of Tolpuddle Old Chapel on the front page of last Friday’s Methodist Recorder. Sincere thanks to Stuart Bell for this coverage.

A new Kindle book by Dorset children’s author, Fiona Taylor, @FionaMariaTayl1. It tells the story of The Tolpuddle Martyrs from the standpoint of Elizabeth, the daughter of Thomas Standfield. An ideal introduction for young people to this story.amazon.co.uk/Sheltering-Tre…

David Willey, TOCT Trustee, @TolpuddleOCT and Curator of The Tank Museum, @TankMuseum, shares his thoughts about Tolpuddle Old Chapel. He invites you to support us in our vision of saving this unique building. Please contact us at tolpuddleoldchapeltrust.org
