Totnes Heritage, Short story competition

We were delighted to be involved in the short story competition run by Totnes Heritage during the summer of 2021. It was open to adults and children and stories were based on the characters on the fantastic Totnes Map. Beautifully realised by local artists, Anna Ventura and Claudia Schmid. There is even a poem to go alongside the map by Matt Harvey.

The standard of story writing was very high and the judges had a hard job chosing the winners. But after lots of deliberation the awards were announced…
