Second World War Project
75th anniversary of VE Day, Friday May 8th 2020. Fifteen men from Porlock died in the Second World War, eight from Selworthy and four from Luccombe*. The Museum seeks the help of anyone with information, materials or photos of the men from our three parishes who died to help us present the fullest possible tribute. We also seek information about the wartime exploits of those who survived, the men who went to war and the women who performed vital tasks in support at home.

Dennis Corner MBE
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Dennis Corner. He was 93 and had been in poor health.
Dennis was an early supporter and a long time Curator of Dovery Manor Museum. As well as an author and historian, his service to Porlock was wide ranging and he was awarded the MBE in 2002 in recognition of all he had done for the good of his community. He will be very much missed and long remembered.
Dovery Manor Museum is a Learning Destination for the Childrens University.
