Marlborough Law

Co-habiting couple families are the UK’s fastest-growing family type so we thought it was important to explain the legal realities of co-habiting with new partners after (or during) a divorce.

From property rights and pensions to wills and maintenance, living together without marriage or civil partnership creates very different legal outcomes. That’s why careful planning through cohabitation agreements, declarations of trust, and wills is essential to protect both partners and their families.

We are a small practice who are genuinely enthusiastic about building good, long-term working relationships within the local community. We offer a range of legal services to both private and corporate clients.  Please contact us for a free, no-obligation chat on the phone or in our office.

See here for our recent podcasts on 4LEGS Radio.

Town & Manor and Hungerford Town Hall

Thanks to everyone who supported the Produce, Flower & Handicraft Show in the Town Hall on Saturday 23 August.

We are very pleased to be involved in another community event this time organised by The Hungerford Food Community; the Heritage Artisan and Food Market on Sunday 14 September. The Town and Manor has its origins in food! The ancient rights given to the occupants of Hungerford about 700 years ago were all related to food in some way. Come to the market and find out more at the display summarising this fascinating local food heritage.

The last free tour of our Kennet Valley Wetland Reserve site is on 11 September. Sign up by contacting claire.jones@townandmanor.co.uk

And a quick reminder that Hungerford residents and charities get a 20% discount on hire rates of the Town Hall complex (except for weddings), which, we hope you will agree, is a stunning venue for events of all kinds.

Howards Pet Care

 
Suzi and the team have everything you need for your two and four legged friends from premium dog food, chews, feeding bowls, beds, leads, bird seed to hedgehog houses and bags of dishwater salt.
 
Our Nutriment and Nature’s Menu ranges are very popular – check out our freezer section for the raw meat options for your four-legged friends. 
 
We also sell wild bird seeds, floating duck and swan pellets . Avoid giving bread if you can, it is not close to their natural diet and cause create wing deformities due to malnutrition. The surplus bread not eaten by the birds causes pollution in the water, especially if it is mouldy, and also attracts rodents.
 
Also, as ever, a full range of pet food, accessories, treats and toys.

White Feather Gift Shop

Donna is very sad that her little shop in the courtyard is closing. She’s tried everything to keep it going during the past year and would like to thank everyone who has helped and supported her business.
 
It’s not the end of White Feather Gifts though, it’s a rethink.
 
Donna asks that we keep following her on social media, and stay on the lookout for updates of what is coming next.
