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.)

The findings of the survey will be published later in the Autumn. The survey has been funded by a grant administered by the Somerset Association of Local Councils from the Somerset Council's Community Health and Wellbeing Programme.

The October film is Santosh (2025/128 mins/15). This is a gripping thriller with superb performances from the two leading actors. In rural northern India a young Hindu widow, Santosh reluctantly takes on her late husband’s job as a police constable and is thrown into the violent world of Indian law enforcement. When a teenage girl is found murdered and a Muslim boy suspected, Santosh is pulled into the case under the command of the feminist Inspector Sharma. As the case develops both women have to confront their place within a corrupt system and Santosh’s personal ethics are painfully challenged by the realities of her world. (BBFC Insight: very strong language, strong violence, sexual violence references. Hindi with subtitles)
