On Wednesday 3 June at Dulverton Town Hall we celebrated the launch of Exmoor: The Making of an English Upland.
Guests included, centre Lady Gass , Rob Wilson-North, Ann le Bas, Alan Thacker and Tom Mayberry.
Guests were welcomed by Rob Wilson-North of Exmoor National Park on a lovely early summer’s day. Lady Gass, Lord Lieutenant of Somerset launched the book. Tom Mayberry Somerset’s County Heritage Officer thanked all those involved and the Director of the Victoria County History, Professor John Beckett, presented copies to several people. Guests, who included artist Ann le Bas whose painting of Devon Closewool sheep being herded along an Exmoor lane graces the book’s cover, were treated to tea and delicious cakes and were able to buy signed copies of the book. They were also able to see some of the images of work done by the volunteers and photographs from the Explore Exmoor website.
