team based in Somerset. The only

and learning to throw axes like a Viking.
You will be given full instruction
by our experienced and fully
insured axe throwers and will be
coached through to success.
They use single head throwing

CHARLIE WAITE
PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
Charlie Waite is now firmly established as one of the world’s leading landscape
photographers.
Born in 1949 Waite was inspired to take up photography by his father a keen
portrait photographer and RAF Air Commodore CB CBE whose brainchild was the
Berlin Airlift. Waite started out as a professional actor and remained an actor for
ten years, but soon began a side line photographing his fellow actors including
Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham-Carter, Amelia Fox and Catherine Zeta-Jones
amongst others.
Throughout his time in the theatre, Waite became fascinated by theatrical lighting
and design, but gradually the landscape and the way it can be revealed through
light and shade stole him away from the acting profession.
As a professional photographer, Waite has established a worldwide reputation for
his particular approach to his work. His style is unique in that his photographs
convey a spiritual quality of serenity and calm.
Outside of his own career Waite has done much to raise the profile of photography
and in doing so has become the champion of the everyman photographer. Waite
started the annual Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards, which he set up to
encourage the British to use their camera to engage more closely with their
environments whether urban or rural and in 2003 Waite
set up a company Light & Land, which runs professional landscape photography
workshops and tours all over the world.
A series of Charlie’s photography
highlighting the beautiful British
landscape including well known
local landmarks will be in the Stock
Gaylard marquee on Conservation
Row.

JULIAN HIGHT
AUTHOR World Tree Story
History & legends of the world’s ancient trees
Following the success of Britain’s Tree Story for National Trust in 2011, Julian set out to visit 100 historic, ancient trees of the world. Travelling extensively, from the UK to New Zealand and Australia, Japan to the USA, across Europe and Scandinavia, sourcing subjects from archive engravings and photographs, he re-photographed them in the present day to add historic context.
The result is ‘World Tree Story – history and legends of the world’s ancient trees’ – a beautifully illustrated hardback book documenting 100 magnificent trees across 39 countries – a celebration of the world’s oldest, largest and most famous trees (and sometimes not so famous), detailing their stories, whilst also telling the human tale, and ultimately a call for their preservation.
Julian trained as a graphic designer and musician and has spent most of his working life in publishing. His interest in trees started at a young age as he was lucky enough to live near accessible woodland as a child which had a profound effect on him.
Author of Britain’s Tree Story in 2011, he is an active member of the Woodland Trust and has launched successful campaigns to save endangered trees in his home county of Somerset, gives regular talks around the country about his travels to visit ancient trees and tell their stories, and recently appeared as a judge on Channel 4s ’Tree of the Year’ TV programme.
Julian will be taking groups for a walk around the Oak Fair and discussing the history and ancient tales behind the trees on the site, including our Crusader Oak. These will take place at 11am, 1pm and 3pm on both days of the fair, please head to the Stock Gaylard marquee on Conservation Row where the walks will set off from.

Martin Richards
T H Robinson 1887 Double Blade Reciprocating Planking Saw
Thought to have been installed new in 1887 to The Greystone Estate, near Lake
Windermere where it was driven by a 16 foot overshot waterwheel via various
overhead line shafts which also drove the rest of the saw mills equipment
including 2 planners, morticer, drill & 2 small saw benches. In later years the
water wheel was replaced by a water turbine.
One of its main uses was cutting planks for coffin making as at the time it was very
efficient due to being able to cut 2 planks simultaneously. This reciprocating saw
was taken out of use in the 1950’s when it was replaced with a circular rack bench
along side it. The saw mill itself & all the other equipment including the belt
driven generator was in regular use until the year 2000, when the saw mill was
converted into holiday lets.
The saw was dismantled & transported back to Dorset. Martin Richards the owner
has re-assembled it & mounted it onto a chassis to enable it to be towed &
exhibited at various shows over the past 14 years. To enable the saw to be used
as you see it today the line shaft from the saw mill complete with its numerous
pulleys had to be removed, modified and relocated to decrease the running
speed as opposed to previously being set up to increase the speed from the slow
running waterwheel.
