Changes

The village green retains an original pair of stocks.  Once a year, at the village summer fete, a ceremonial victim is chosen from a list of national and international figures who have been unpopular with the public. A villager then wears a mask depicting the chosen victim and is pelted with wet sponges.  The position of mask wearer is sponsored, with the money raised going to the local hospice.

The village is also known for Chalbury Nip a traditional dish which contains red onion, swede and wild Gymnopilus purpuratus mushrooms.  The dish was a firm favourite of the writer [[Charles Dodgson]], otherwise known as Lewis Carroll.
