HOTV Archive

The HOTV pages began as a campaigning section within the Stoke St Gregory village website, where we aimed to raise awareness of the enterprise we were trying to get off the ground and encourage people to join us and buy shares. Now that the Royal Oak is owned by the community, much of the original material is irrelevant and the emphasis has switched to publicising and supporting the businesses that are trading within it. This current page simply provides a retirement home for the original campaigning pages, and for any other HOTV-related material which is of only historical interest.
