Welcome to

Stoke Trister and
Bayford Parish

Welcome to Stoke Trister with Bayford Parish Council, a small rural parish set in the picturesque countryside of South Somerset, close to the border of North Dorset and Wiltshire.

What we do

The parish council supports and advises residents on a wide range of issues which affect the local community and the rural environment. We also notify local residents about information coming from Somerset County Council and South Somerset District Council.

An Agenda for each meeting will be posted on the Parish notice boards at Bayford Village Hall, Bayford; by School House, Stoke Trister; by the triangle. Agendas will be posted at least three clear working days prior to the meeting. From time to time extraordinary meetings may be called that do not appear on the dates list below.
Past and current Minutes can also be found on the Parish Council website:
