Winsham’s Street Fair has its roots in the 13th century, and even now, seven hundred and  sixty-one years later, Winsham’s 21^st Century residents still know that this biennial  celebration is a good day out!

 street fair in Winsham on the 29th June, on the Feast of St. Peter & Paul, did he know what he
