Mazzard Watch (Click or tap on image..)
Each year, the emergence of blossom on the Millennium Green mazzard trees is awaited with interest by people who wish to visit and see this picturesque sight which is associated with the arrival of spring. Michael Gee, who was part of the group which planted the mazzards in Landkey in 1999, gives this update here on the state of the blossom on the Green: "The first mazzard blossom on the Green is opening for St. George's Day. If people want to see it should be really lovely by next weekend."
The newly-installed Bishop of London, The Rt Revd Dame Sarah Mullally, led the Easter Sunday service at St Paul's Church. The service included a rededication of the organ which had been recently returned after being restored. Here, she is being presented with flowers, and a gift from the restorer, held by Eileen MacCaig. Also with her are (l-r), Revd John Ewington, Hazel Price (churchwarden) and Peter Rozzell, Reader.

Welcome to the website for Landkey, a peaceful village located within the rolling green hills of North Devon, England.
Landkey is characterised by a sense of community among its residents, especially among those who have dwelt here for many years and who have an intimate knowledge of the history and culture of the village. Landkey has welcomed many new residents in recent years as successive house-building projects have been completed and it is hoped that initiatives such as the establishment of this website will help to strengthen this sense of community by making available to all residents information about their village in a readily-accessible format.
Website change, January 2018:
If you are a regular visitor to this site, you will notice some changes have been made to its design. In order to accommodate the increasing use of mobile phones for accessing the internet, this site now adapts itself to the size of screen through which it is being viewed. In addition, contemporary styling has been incorporated, with the intention giving the site a more modern feel. More efficient programming has been built into some features, such as the Events Calendar (not visible in mobile view) which operates more quickly than it did before. If you encounter any problems, please let me know. CW, 17th January 2018. [To close this box: hover / tap above info symbol.]

Landkey's Alphabet of Parishes plaque, 1994. Artwork @copyright Judy Barber.
The Landkey Sculpture. Created by local artist Polly Pocock, this distinctive artwork stands at the entrance to the northern side of village and is made up of local stone from nearby Venn Quarry and is in the shape of the Landkey parish boundary. The sculpture was commissioned by Landkey Parish Council and was inspired following a consultation with local people to seek ideas on what Landkey meant to them. It was unveiled on July 25th 2009.
Landkey village hall.
Landkey's Millennium Green, opened in June 2000, is appreciated daily by local residents who make use of this valuable amenity. At the time, it was one of just 250 Greens created nationwide as part of the government's plans to mark the millennium.
