Sunlight spills over the gentle Somerset slopes, illuminating Thornfalcon. It lies 5.7 km east of Taunton (from Taunton: bearing 95°T, OS grid ST 280 237), and is situated south-east of Ruishton village. The ancient parish church of St Mary, with its dignified tower, stands as a quiet sentinel against the wide, often dramatic, western sky. A scattering of dwellings, some bearing the marks of centuries past in their stone and thatch, huddle together, breathing the soft air of the countryside. The land here, a rich patchwork of fields, rolls onward, hinting at the agricultural heart that has sustained Thornfalcon through the ages. A sense of enduring peace pervades this corner of England, a place where time seems to move with the slow, deliberate turning of the seasons.
