Story
BLEWBURY COB WALLS
Blewbury is blessed by having six cob walls- these are a unique feature of the village – in fact Blewbury is the only village in the country to have as many as 6 cob walls, which are Saxon in origin. Five of the cob walls are privately owned and maintained. However, the Curtoys Lane Cob Wall (near the Blewbury Green/play close) is not owned by anyone. Hence some 37 years ago a Cob Wall committee was formed and funds raised to maintain it. The cob wall is now in a bad state and is in need of urgent repair. So would you like to contribute to supporting this amazing feature in Blewbury (see www.blewbury.co.uk ). If so please donate to this great cause so we don’t lose this amazing piece of British heritage. Many thanks Paul Whitehead and Marianne Suhr (Blewbury Cob Wall Committee)

6 years agoWell we raised £3000 which added to some savings (and other donations) means we have the £9000 total required for the thatching . (Thanks to the parish council for sorting out the VAT.) Kit the thatcher is starting on September 4/5th for the week so how about a cobb wall event on the day (5th) at lunchtime . Might do a bbq on the playclose. ?? We will also organise lime washing the walls on the Wednesday if anyone wants to help out. Plus thanks to Marianne for organising SPAB fellows to help out the thatcher.. Thanks again Blewbury
