  • Wiltshire's Fun Facts • Did You Know Another Series of Poldark Is Being
    Wiltshire’s Fun Facts Did you know another series of Poldark is being filmed this year at Great Chalfield Manor? Other filming includes The White Princess in Lacock and Bradford on Avon and Transformers at Stonehenge. Look out for Wiltshire on your TV/Cinema in 2017! Did you know that Wiltshire has a Grade II Listed Sticke tennis court at Hartham Park, Corsham? Did you know that the Wiltshire Cycleway, Regional Route 20, is 160 miles and takes in some of the county’s most spectacular scenery? It’s best to do in an anti-clockwise direction. There are also two National Cycle Routes passing through South Wiltshire, Numbers 24 and 45. In Cricklade, just off the high street, there is a sign that says “In 1832 on this spot nothing happened!” Wiltshire has some strange named places; Lover (pronounced Lowver), which is famous for its visits by romantics near Valentine’s Day; New Zealand which can be found just off the A3102 south of Lyneham; and Tiddleywink, which is situated just outside Castle Combe. The Kennet & Avon Canal is a total of 87 miles and links London with the Bristol Channel. The Caen Hill Locks are a flight of 29 locks between Rowde and Devizes with a rise of 1 in 44 gradient or 237 feet in 2 miles. Did you know that Salisbury (in 2012) and Chippenham (in 2016) have been awarded purple flag status, meaning that they offer a ‘gold standard’ night life with lower crime and anti-social behaviour? Did you know that Stonehenge attracts over 1.3m people of year? The massive sarsen stones came from Marlborough, 20 miles away, the smaller bluestones from the Preseli Mountains of South Wales, a distance of almost 200 miles.

  • Dedicattons of Tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©Ometsetsftire. “L
    DeDicattons of tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©ometsetsftire. BY THE KEY. E. H. BATES, M.A HE late Mr. W illiam Long contributed to the seventeenth “L volume of the Proceedings in 1871 a classified list of the Church Dedications given by Ecton in his Thesaurus Rerum Ecclesiasticarum, 1742. As Editor of the Bath and Wells Diocesan Kalendar my attention has been frequently drawn, from my own knowledge as well as by numerous correspon- dents, to the many errors and gaps in that list. It became plainly necessary to go behind the Thesaurus to the original sources of information. And here I may be allowed to repro- duce what I have already stated in the preface to the Kalendar for 1905. It should be clearly understood that there is no authoritative list in existence. Among the Public Becords are two works known as Pope Nicholas’ Taxatio of 1291, and the Valor Ec- clesiasticus of 27 Henry VIII (1536), containing the names of all parishes in England and Wales. These were primarily drawn up to ascertain the value of the benefices, and only in- cidentally, as in the case of towms with many churches, are the dedications added. The latter work, to which the title of V^ahr Ecclesiasticus or Liber Regis is generally given, was first printed in 1711 by J ohn Ecton. His preface contains a very interesting account of the early work of the Queen Anne’s Bounty Fund, of which he was Receiver, and of the serious state of affairs in the large towns which led to its foundation.

  • €F)E Local Museum. Combe ; East Pennard ; Leigh-On-Mendip ; And
    €f)e local Museum. In connection with the Conversazione given by the Frome Literary and Scientific Institution, a local Museum was formed in their rooms. The arrangements were made by a sub- committee, to whom Mr. J. W. Singer acted as Secretary. The large reading room was fitted up with a glass case on one side, and round the walls were hung pictures arid portraits of local interest. Mr. Singer was instrumental in bringing to- gether a very large collection of Church books, plate, etc. The plate, etc., from the parish church of St. John the Baptist, Frome, included chalices (one of which Bishop Ken presented to the Vicar of Frome), two ciboriums, and the pro- cessional cross. There were also chalices and other church plate from St. ; ; Mary's, Frome ; Beckington Tellisford ; West Bradley Hol- combe ; East Pennard ; Leigh-on-Mendip ; and Downhead. Mr. A. Mackay, of Holt Manor, lent a valuable and inter- esting collection of old English plate, which came into his possession some years ago by purchase. There were fifteen pieces, besides a dozen each of forks and spoons. It appears to have been deposited at Child's Bank for a great number of years, until the box containing it fell to pieces. A letter was found therein, and to a lineal descendant of the writer the plate was handed. Mrs. Penny lent four cases of mediaeval keys. Mrs. Knatchbull exhibited a watch which formerly belonged to James II. ; it was left at Babington House on his visit, when coming from Bath ; also four miniatures ; and a very beautifully jewelled needle-case.
