Linton - Community

The Community

The Linton and Bromsash area has a long-standing reputation for welcoming newcomers and being a friendly place. For example, during the Second World War some conscientious objector families were billeted in the village to work on the land. Afterwards several of them made a point of saying how well they were treated by the local people who respected their right to hold their views, whereas others sent to other parts of the country were pilloried.

Linton is a small village and not many remember the days of its School in operation, but it rejoices in still being a real village. It may no longer have a Village Stores but it keeps a Post office (open Tuesdays and Thursdays) and is most grateful to Clive Weyman for his regular delivery of milk, juice, eggs and newspapers and to Vi Suckling for her mobile greengrocery and to the Mobile Library Service, a key but often forgotten part of the Welfare State.

Linton also has a well respected pub; the Alma is a free house and was voted Herefordshire Pub of the Year by CAMRA and it enjoys a reputation for its real ales and for playing host to a three-day festival of music and Ale with numerous special guest beers and bands and a tradition of generous donations to local charities and organisations.

Linton Parish Council has developed a website which will give more information about the village community.
