Bigbury
Bigbury is a village and civil parish in the South Hams district of Devon, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 582, decreasing to 500 at the 2011 census.
The parish council meets on the second Wednesday of every month at 7.30pm in Bigbury Memorial Hall (excluding August & January). The village of Bigbury (grid reference SX667464) has a pub called the Royal Oak (now closed), and a shop called the Bigbury Village Stores.
Bigbury's church (dedicated to St Lawrence) is partly early 14th century and partly as rebuilt by J. D. Sedding in 1872. Apart from the western tower topped by a spire very little is obviously medieval. The two monumental brasses are early 15th century. The baptismal font, sedilia and piscina are early 14th century, while the lectern and pulpit date from the following century. Both the lectern and pulpit were moved here from Ashburton church: the lectern is attributed to Thomas Prideaux and thought to be a donation of the Bishop of Exeter ca. 1510-15.

Bugbear
by: LemuriaHow large of a saw was used to cut us apart
While our terribly considerate
And unblaming mother lies dead with her art
Separated but never equaled
A masterpiece just short of being fecal
Until i was chopped off
I live in this outhouse and envy the
Cathedral that is your heart
The heart of my better half
We share a name, i share your song
You shared your lover, now you don't share at all
And who could blame you
For having that cloddish scar removed
So your Siamese ghost won't spook
The uncouth doppleganger on the loose
Until the day you employ a cane
You'll abhor me, you'll curse me
I'm the bugbear biting the earth
Where you had me buried
Making brothers from one youth,
But i was the one removed
The inventors promise to you never
Left the ground
I'm not your twin, i'm just the amputee,
