 Latest Links

These will be found directly below the icon bar, and are constantly changing. They take you to the latest postings, which will give you more information about the matter described.

 

Social Media

The role of the Social Media in village and parish communications is growing rapidly, and it is the policy of Winsham on the Web to encourage this  by featuring Facebook, Text and Twitter links whenever they are appropriate. Just keep an eye open for a logo, and click on it-you should then be taken to the relevant page. However if you do not already have a registration with the service in question, you may need to register to get the link. This will only need to be done once.

 Picture Links

By clicking on these links you will be taken to specific areas relating to the picture subject-i.e. click on the picture of St. Stephens, and you will go to the area on the web site devoted to St. Stephens.

The content of these individual areas is described in more detail below. It may surprise you to find just how much useful information about general services can be reached through these areas, often linking to official external web sites, and can be an alternative to Google or filling your Bookmark or Favourites features on your browser with items to which you will only need occasionally to refer .
