COPIES of the story of Tavistock Lions Club?s millennium project to install new parish boundary markers and time capsules around the town have recently been presented to the town council, the parish church and Tavistock Museum.
The project involved placing 15 granite markers, six oak posts and one oak tree around Tavistock at places where there was a significant change of direction in the parish boundary line.
Steve Grummitt, Lions spokesman, said: ?The stones, which were sourced from Merrivale, and the oak posts, are all inscribed with the letter ?T? for Tavistock, ?MM? for the new millennium and the initial letter or letters of the adjoining parishes.
?The club also involved local schools and colleges by providing them with time capsules, which were filled by the pupils with various items of class work and memorabilia and then buried under one of the boundary stones closest to their location.?
The locations and contents of the capsules have been registered with the International Time Capsule Society based at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, Georgia, and with the department of ethnography at the British Museum.
Steve said the public can find out about the millennium project by viewing the copy at Tavistock Library.
