The results are in for the seventh annual Bisterne Scarecrow Competition, which this year attracted a record 35 entries.
Entries include a man in the moon, Tom and Jerry, a woodcutter and Peppa Pig. The scarecrows are scattered all around the lanes of Bisterne and maps, which are sold for £1 each, can be obtained from Moortown Service Station, Tyrrells Ford Country Inn and prize sponsors Stewarts GardenLands at Somerford.
