A 19th Century Chinese game is bringing together a rural community in Somerset.
Twice a month a group of avid Mahjong players meet in Shipham village, on the Mendip Hills in Somerset.
The club has become a "social lifeline" for members, providing connection and cognitive training while also tackling loneliness.
Mark Trenchard, 64, who started the club two years ago, said he was "gobsmacked" over how much it had grown and become a local tradition admitting it was an "unlikely" story of cultural connection.
