Henry, the hedgehog hero!
Plus inside...
Emma scores on World Cup debut; ‘no hunt’ agreement broken; tiny otter rescued; farm life; gardening tips; what’s on and much more!
Molton Monthly Magazine - October 2025
Welcome to the October edition of Molton Monthly Magazine. Starting with a personal note from me. I’m honoured to have been commissioned to write a short story by the British Library for an upcoming book and exhibition.
I can’t reveal more until the show is formally launched, but it does have a fascinating link to Devon. It’s pretty cool way to celebrate 40 years of journalism this year!
It has been amazing to watch former South Molton RFC player Emma Sing in action in the rugby world cup for England - she is now a finalist, which is an incredible achievement.
The cover story this month is another inspiring young person. At just 9 years old, Henry has cycled 146 miles to raise vital funds for a local wildlife hospital!
Also this month, we have a church providing a new home for swifts in their belfry and a lovely story of a tiny otter being rescued.
Autumn is here and soon it will be hallowe’en, and you can grab a spooktacular free t-shirt with our friends at RGB (page 4)!

Horsepower brings home the harvest
by Sarah Hailstone
Last month we featured traditional wheat ‘stooks’, so it felt right to follow up with this timeless image from photographer Sarah Hailstone with heavy horses bringing in the harvest with grace and power as they have done for generations across North Devon and Exmoor.
Our photo of the month was taken during the Working Horse Weekend at Higher Biddacott Farm, on the outskirts of Chittlehampton, with Jonathan Waterer from Waterers’ Working Horses at the reins of one of his teams.
Sarah Hailstone is well-known for her ‘Exmoor with Jack’ walking guides and photography, and you can see more on social media or her website: exmoorwithjack.co.uk

Diesel is a motorway miracle!
When a driver pulled over to change a flat tyre on the side of a busy motorway, they were stunned to find a tiny otter cub weighing just 800 grams (less than 2lbs).
It’s thought the otter’s mother may have been struck by a vehicle in North Herefordshire leaving ‘Diesel’, as he has now been named, alone and vulnerable. Thankfully the motorist acted quickly and contacted Woody’s Wildlife Rescue who reached out to the Kings Nympton based UK Wild Otter Trust.
“Otter cubs simply can’t make it alone at this stage in their development. We’re incredibly grateful to the quick-thinking member of the public and Woody’s Wildlife Rescue for ensuring Diesel got the urgent help he needed,” said charity founder Dave Webb.
‘Diesel’ soon after being found by a roadside
Diesel will now spend the first year of his life undergoing rehabilitation with the aim of releasing him back into the wild when he is fit and ready.
It costs around £3,500 to rescue, rehabilitate and release just one otter cub back into the wild. Around 30 come through the doors of the specialist centre near Kings Nympton every year.
Since March 2025, the award-winning volunteer run charity has released 19 abandoned otters so far.
“We rely completely on donations and fundraising, so if you feel you’re able to help us continue this valuable work with an iconic species, we would really appreciate your support,” added Dave.

Henry is a hedgehog hero!
It started with rescuing a hedgehog and ended with Henry, aged just 9, cycling 146 miles from Bristol via Exmoor to Barnstaple - raising more than £1,600 for The Littlest Wildlife Hotel at Alswear, near South Molton.
“Henry has a great sense of community spirit and after we were involved in caring for a hedgehog that he spotted and rescued, he decided that he would help raise funds for us by completing an epic bike ride in his school summer holidays,” said Nikki Rule-Jackson founder of the wildlife charity.
“Henry has been a wonderful ambassador for his family and we wish him luck on any future endeavours he chooses to participate in - thank you Henry!! From Nikki, Valerie, the volunteers and most importantly the wildlife at The Littlest Wildlife Hotel.”
The money raised by Henry through his gruelling four day bike ride will be a big boost to The Littlest Wildlife Hotel, which provides care and rehabilitation for native British wildlife. Supported by Moorland Vets, they have more than 1,000 animals and birds handed-in to their base at Alswear each year, many of which are able to be rehabilitated and released back to their home locationincluding Henry’s hedgehog!

If you would like to donate to Henry’s cause go to: totalgiving.co.uk/mypage/henrysbtobchallenge
Despite his young age, Henry is no stranger to charity fundraising. Supported by his parents he raised £5,000 for the RNLI cycling from Plymouth to Ilfracombe when he was just 7 years old!
When he rescued a hedgehog a year ago, he was inspired to fundraise after seeing how the team at The Littlest Wildlife Hotel cared for it until it could be released back into the wild.
“I would like to thank everyone for your support, encouragement and donations,” said Henry, who lives in Goodleigh. “I am blown away that the original target of £1,000 has been smashed and is now more than £1,600!” For more information go to: littlestwildlifehotel.org.uk
All smiles for Henry, despite his gruelling challenge
Emma is world class!
Former South Molton RFC player Emma Sing came off the bench to score on her debut appearance in the Women’s Rugby World Cup, as England went on to reach the final.
Emma scored a conversion kick as the Red Roses won their opening match against the USA 69-7 in Sunderland on August 22nd.
She was then selected in the starting lineup for the second match against Samoa at Franklin’s Gardens, Northampton, with England winning by a record breaking 92-3 margin - and she came on to play in the crunch quarter final against Scotland, helping them to victory 40-8 in Bristol on September 14th (photo right).
The Red Roses last won the world cup in 2014, and with the 2025 tournament being held in England hopes are high of them bringing the trophy home after a hard fought victory over France in the semi final.
Enduro champs at Filleigh
The final two rounds of the British Enduro Championship were held at Castle Hill Estate, Filleigh from September 19th - 21st. The UK’s best riders were in North Devon competing for the national titles.

Church becomes swift ‘hotel’
In an ancient belfry above South Molton, endangered swifts are being offered a new high-rise home thanks to a local conservation project, which is bringing together the church and wildlife groups.
Warden at the 800 year old St Mary Magdalene Church, Lyn Winter, said, “This is a great project to be part of and we’re glad to be able to help. We all worked together really well to help give the swifts homes.”
Swift numbers have plummeted by 60% in the last 20 years, with the sharpest decline in the last decade, due to the loss of their natural nesting sites.
60 nest boxes have now been installed in the church tower thanks to the work of the Devon and South Molton Swift Groups.

approaching a nest box
When the birds return from their mammoth migration to equatorial Africa next spring, they will only be able to access the nest boxes and not the church itself. The mothers also clean-up after their fledglings, so experts say any ‘mess’ should be minimal.
Lyn added, “We hope that other churches will follow and add this valuable resource to their towers or spires to help the swifts in their areas too.”
“During the installation in the church, we had swifts flying past the tower which responded immediately to the special ‘bird caller’ when it was turned on!” said Jerry Horn from the Devon Swifts Group, one of the team who helped with the nest box installation.
Swifts returning to South Molton parish church will be monitored and records kept.

Your jobs to do in October
1. Plant up winter pots with Pansies, Polyanthus, Heathers, Cyclamen and spring flowering bulbs.
2. Cut back perennials as they finish flowering and die back. This will encourage better flowering next year.
3. If your rhubarb plants are more than five years old then they will benefit from being divided in late autumn or winter.
4. Store apples, pears, quince and medlars. If handled carefully, fruit can be stored for several weeks.
5. Bare root fruit trees can be ordered, call us now to order the varieties you want.
If you would like us to plant up winter baskets for you, please get in touch. They would contain a selection of pansies, violas, polyanthus, heathers, cyclamen, heucheras, narcissi and ivy. We can refill baskets you already have or supply new ones.
See below for our autumn opening times and directions to us at Ash Moor Nursery.
Until next month, Jenny Howells
Opening Times
Thursday, Friday, Saturday 9am to 5pm
Hospice wins national accolade
North Devon Hospice has been named UK Charity of the Year at the prestigious annual Third Sector Awards held in London.
Hospice Chief Executive, Stephen Roberts, said the accolade recognised the hard work of so many people, “It was quite a shock to hear that we had been named the top charity in the whole of the UK, especially when we were nominated alongside household names like Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Royal British Legion.”
“But this award is fully deserved, for all our incredible supporters across the community, the volunteers who give so much of their time, and our staff who are always going above and beyond. We are so proud to be putting North Devon on the map, showing how the power of this community can achieve amazing things,” he added. North Devon Hospice cares for patients facing a life-limiting illness, while supporting their loved ones through difficult times.
Katy Rogers, aged 33, is currently being cared for having been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She says, “There is so much more support on offer from the hospice than I ever realised. It’s made such a difference to me, so I think this award is very well deserved.”

Amazingly we picked our first grapes a month earlier than last year. The Red Rondo were the first off the vines to make into our Rosé. The heavens opened just after, so we delayed picking a little to allow the grapes to swell. Unfortunately this also attracted the birds!
The Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunière were still early though and will blend together to make our ‘English Fizz’ (we can’t call it champagne). Last but not least was the Bacchus to produce our white.
The red deer stags (Cervus elaphus) are very prominent during October, known as the rutting season. Their throaty roar, called bolving, often keeps us awake at night - although in the middle of Exmoor, where there are some 2,500 deer, the noise would be much increased.
Red rumps refer to our ewes, who at this time of year end up with mostly red, but sometimes other colours, above their tails. The reason is that we spread a special paint on the chests of the rams. When the ram mates with the ewe he rubs off some of the colour.
This gives us proof that the deed is done... and we can expect baby lambs in 152 days. ‘Til next time, Roger #TuppertheTractor (tupperthetractor.com and quoitatcrossvineyard.com)

Hunt ‘breaks village agreement’
People living in George Nympton have expressed anger and frustration at a local hunt, which they say has already breached a ground-breaking agreement not to operate in their community.
In the July edition of Molton Monthly Magazine we reported how the village had declared itself the first ‘hunt free zone’ in the UK, after Tiverton Staghounds signed up to a voluntary agreement to avoid riding out through George Nympton and its boundaries. 76% of villagers voted in favour of stopping the hunts, amid allegations of threatening behaviour and witnessing a stag being “chased towards a dog pack by riders on quad bikes”.
Lay minister Richard Holloway, spokesman for concerned residents, says, “Another large hunt took place on Saturday, September 13th with vehicles positioning themselves on two flanks of the village, and other hunt vehicles continuing to race through the village in pursuit of their quarry. The Tiverton Staghounds has previously received letters from both the parish council and our MP asking them to stay away.”
“It was clearly intended to further provoke and upset this village community. We have gone about our campaign in a peaceful and sensible manner, ignoring offers from hunt saboteurs to come in and protect our village, because we don’t want the situation to escalate any further.”
North Devon MP Ian Roome had helped broker the original deal, and campaigners have written to him again in the hope of getting a ‘community protection order’ put in place.
The Hunting Act 2004 banned hunting wild mammals with dogs in England and Wales, though exemptions and alternative activities like trail hunting - which involves following a scentstill exist. New legislation to ban trail hunting, in line with the Labour Party’s manifesto pledge, is set to be debated by parliament this autumn.
In the House of Commons, MP Perran Moon said, “The disturbing reality is that trail hunting is providing a smokescreen for illegal hunting.”
It has not yet been possible contact Tiverton Staghounds for a response.

South Molton Community Garden
by Rebecca Blackman
Our regular Thursday sessions have been slightly hampered by the pouring rain so far this autumn! We’ve been pottering about, weeding our own plots, picking raspberries, runner beans and courgettes, but it’s not been the easiest weather for gardening.
The Willy-Nilly garden was off to a great start this year, but the weeds took over at an astonishing rate and quickly negated all our work clearing the beds. We’ve started to strim the tall grasses to give us a chance to find the flower beds and paths. This will be a long-term job over several months. We love the wildness of it all, but we do try our best to keep this part of the garden manageable.
Many thanks to the local Men’s Shed volunteers for repairing some of our benches. It’s lovely to have plenty of space for everyone to sit!
If you’d like to join us, please visit the garden on a Thursday afternoon, around 2-3pm weather permitting. Alternatively, please see our website for more information: southmoltoncommunitygarden.co.uk or find us on Facebook @southmoltoncommunitygarden

Mayor cleans up
Wayne Martin, the mayor of South Molton, has been interviewed by BBC Radio Devon about his efforts to clean-up local road signs.
“I’m proud to be the mayor of South Molton and I have pride in our town,” he told the BBC in September.
“I was approached by several residents saying it needed to be done. It’s important not to lose sight of the smaller things that make a big difference to the communities.”
Both he and town clerk Andrew Coates volunteered to do the work. Previously we have reported how local window cleaner Blair Dennis washed several road signs in the South Molton area.
Devon County Council provides a ‘Community Road Warden’ scheme where volunteers get free training to enable them to safely carry out a range of minor works on the highway, such as cleaning signs.
New Covid alert
Health services in Devon are warning of an increase in cases of a new ‘XFG’ strain of Coronavirus, and are urging vigilance.

Run with the ‘Strugglers’
The South Molton Strugglers Running Club, pictured right at the Poltimore Inn at North Molton, are encouraging locals to join them to get fit this autumn.
Aimed at people who don’t currently run, or perhaps want to get back into running, they are launching a new 10-week ‘couch to 5k’ programme starting on October 8th.
Organisers say the goal is to “confidently run 5 kilometres” by the end of the course - and promise “encouragement, laughs and a sense of achievement.” It costs £14 including a one year ‘Strugglers’ membership.
The club meets at South Molton Pannier Market on Wednesdays at 7pm. To join up or find out more information go to: southmoltonstrugglers.co.uk
Festival looks to sky at night
The 2025 Exmoor Dark Skies Festival runs from October 17th to November 2nd at locations across the national park.
The Poltimore Inn at North Molton is one of the venues hosting a special evening in their observatory (see below). The festival promises stargazing, wildlife walks, expert talks, planetarium sessions, family fun days, children’s art sessions and even ‘Dark Skies yoga’ - see the advert on page 16.
Long serving teacher retires
Quince Honey Farm was packed as more than 200 people attended a special party for popular art teacher Kim Noseda (pictured right), who has retired after 28 years of service at South Molton Community College.
Friends, colleagues and pupils past and present gathered to pay tribute to her work. Although she’s stepping back from the classroom, Kim plans to offer after-school art tuition privately for local children.
Ceramics charity auction
Ceramics Academy CIC in South Molton is planning its next fundraiser, with an online auction running from Friday, October 31st to Sunday, November 9th. If you can to donate a special item, voucher or service please email Sarah: info@ceramicsacademy.co.uk

New team in town
Chulmleigh College has appointed a new deputy head teacher Abigail Thorncroft, who will work alongside her predecessor Neil Payne, following his promotion to headteacher (both pictured below). They recently announced a further year of outstanding examination results, set to place the popular rural secondary school amongst the highest performing in England.
