Mendip Story Teller, Martin Horler, entranced Chilcompton Golden Hour members and visitors last week with his riddles and stories.

Martin sets his tales in times past and locally. The audience heard stories which included two dead bodies, a mystery drowning, ghostly screams and a phantom engine driver, who averted disaster thereby saving 70 lives.

Martin was thanked for his fascinating tales. Next month, on September 10, Westfield voices will entertain.
