Diamonds are forever for Tom & Brenda Motcombe couple Tom and Brenda Crabbe have celebrated 60 years of marriage, surrounded by the villagers, friends and family who love them. They were married in September 1961 at St Mary’s Church in the village and held a reception in the village hall – an occasion mirrored by their diamond celebrations, attended by
more than 100 people. They have lived in the village ever since and have become a big part of the community. Tom has chaired the parish council, been a member of the PCC and involved with numerous village events. Brenda is known for her delicious preserves, especially her seasonal marmalade and her family praise her secret recipe cheese straws. Villager Barney Mauleverer said: “If there is a couple that epitomise ‘everything Motcombe’ then Tom and Brenda are the absolute village pin-ups… “Brenda (Hurst) was born in Motcombe in 1938 at North End Farm – she is the longest serving Motcombite

them – they have both been complete stalwarts in the village. “Tom was in the building trade throughout his profession and knows of every faulty tile or imperfect brick in every nook and cranny of every building in Motcombe. He joined the Motcombe Parish Council in 1977 to lead the new entertainment committee – kicking off by organising a fancy dress fun pram race through the village to raise funds to be able to give all Motcombe children a Coronation mug. The pair have one daughter, Tracey, and two grandchildren, Chloe and Harry. Celebrations were held in both St Mary’s Church and the Memorial Hall.
