Defibrillator
In 2016, Buckland Tout Saints Parish Council raised money through a number of fundraising events for a defibrillator that is now installed at Buckland Court.
The Lifeline Defibrillator is state-of-the-art equipment that is able to talk the user through the steps to potentially save a life.
Directions to the defibrillator: From the centre of the village turn north towards Buckland Court. Take the second left, walk past Longclose House and the Defibrillator is stored in the cupboard under the archway into Buckland court.
The Phone Box
Goveton is home to a rather special phone box that sits in the centre of the village. At risk of being removed due to lack of use, the box was purchased for the huge sum of £1 in 2008 as part of BT’s 'adopt a box' scheme. There were two previous attempts to adopt the box that failed so a lot of research and planning went into having the application approved and thankfully, it was.
The parish phone box is now a popular book exchange with residents and visitors to the village both donating and taking out books as they wish. It is closed during the winter months due to the damp conditions. Look out for the village Christmas tree in there during December.
Give it a try!
