New organisations and events New organisations to engage with festival this year included: Radstock Musuem, who in partnership with SESC delivered a Fossil Foray at Writhlington Batch Alan Gray with Melanie Patch, ran an event on Ochre Mining at Winford Redding Pits Discovering Black Down HLF project (Mendip Hills AONB) hosted 2 events, schools day and Burrington Rocks public festival launch event Steve Nice , one of Aggregate Industrys’ geologists kindly agreed to lead a tour of Torr works. Jen Harley, [email protected] 07871 100883 / 01934 732510 – ran Geocache taster sessions at the Burrington Rocks public festival launch event. Explore Ebbor Simon Clarke at Natural England, decided to extend the guided walk at Ebbor into a major festival day and is keen to repeat in future years. Additional events not in programme Due to fully booking, some event providers were kind enough to put on extra events to meet demand. Banwell Bone Caves organised a second day to accommodate the request from a home educated school network SESC laid on 1 additional event : Twilight Quarry Tour Quarry Faces with Mendip AONB – staged an evenings illumination event – projections of archive images with audio presentation at Castle Hill Quarry, Nunney 2014 FEEDBACK FROM EVENT PROVIDERS Many of the participants were repeat visitors from last years festival who said how well they enjoyed last year and pleased with this years programme: Vallis Vale Gems, 5 Oct – Elizabeth Devon: ‘Unfortunately only 15 made it to the meeting place by 10.50. We stood at the parking place from 10.30 while I gave an introduction and talked about the posters and iGeology. I think part of the problem was that Frome town centre is blocked off on Sundays for the market. I would have been in trouble if I had not had the sat nav, as stupidly, I had left home without a map! However, you will be disappointed in that I collected only £21 from the day. People seem to have forgotten about the voluntary donation and I forgot to remind them.’ Wells Story in Stone 6 Oct – David Rowley, ‘I am happy to do the same again next year if you like. Around twenty people at my walk in Wells, some nice feedback at the end too. I also wondered about doing a more energetic/strenuous walk over Tor Hill to make a map of the anticline lasting about 2 hours.’ SESC: Twilight Quarry Tour 1 Oct – 10 booked , 7 turned up 2 Oct: 11 booked Brilliant; Very interesting tour; Very enjoyable; What a brilliant and interesting morning; Torr works 3 Oct – 10 people Steve Nice gave a very in depth talk and tour of Torr works including showing them geological maps. People did need to have a good geological knowledge and I think pretty much all the attendees did. They (and I) thoroughly enjoyed going all the way around the quarry rim, where we usually don’t go and getting to pour over rocks and take bits away. His wildlife knowledge was brilliant as well so he was telling us about what lives in and around Torr. He could have gone on much longer and people weren’t getting bored. Comments – Brilliant; Very interesting tour; Very enjoyable; What a brilliant and interesting morning; Tale of 2 quarries 14th Oct – 10 people The timetabling for this was too long, only needed 10-1pm so that people could go home for lunch Comments – brilliant informative visit; very interesting Tale of 2 quarries 16th Oct- 10 people Comments – Great; Very interesting and informative; Excellent; Mendip Rocks tour was extrememly informative and enjoyable, thanks; Fossil Foray 27th Oct - 200 people + Very popular but some issues: - Not enough parking space - Quite a long walk to batch. Some people had buggies which wasn’t’ suitable. Do we put accessibility info on flyers? Because the space available on the main poster/flyer is so small, could more info about each event go on the website? - Some people were late comers and there were no directions showing them where to go. - Somehow different start times were advertised in diff places. (not really our fault) - Batch is very overgrown, difficult to talk to a large number of people at once so had to do an intro talk to a few at a time as they arrived. Rocky Roadshow 29th Oct - 70 people Went really well, 5 quarry tours got booked up. Really great to have so many helpers – perhaps try to have more visitor led stuff. Comments – Really enjoyed ourselves, thank you: Shame about the mist, good time had though; Delightful, delightful,delightful!; Really enjoyed it!; Briliant Further comments emailed: Jim Hanwell, key Mendip Geologist and retired Wells Blue School geology teacher, ‘Thanks for all your info’ and hard work on behalf of “Mendip Rocks”. I fear that I am unable to participate in any meaningful way owing to ill health, but wish you all well “in the field”. Great Elm and Hapsford Quarry detectives walk – Sun 12 Oct ‘Just to thank you for yesterday, we all had a really good time and learnt a lot.’ Fiona Boomer and group of 11 Binegar ramblers who blocked book onto walk Explore Ebbor Gorge – Sun 26 oct I just wanted to contact you to say a massive thank you to you and everyone involved with both setting up and running yesterday’s Mendip Rocks Festival Explore Ebbor Event. We’ve received lots of really good feedback both at the event and today. We estimate we had over 250 people attend the day and the car park was full from 9.45 right till the end, which to be honest at times was a bit worrying! I’d like to give extra thanks to those of you who made very, very big drives to attend and especially to the night time security. Here are some of the comments: “I just wanted to thank everyone for a fantastic day yesterday. My son was fascinated by the walk and all the activities.” “Just a short note to say how excellent Sunday at Ebbor was. The guided walks were brilliant and the activities at 'base camp' very well thought through with the space available.” “Just wanted to say what a fantastic day myself and my family had yesterday at the Ebbor Gorge event. The event was well organised with lots of interesting things to do for families (digging for fossils, storytelling, the walks were the boys favourites). Thank you for spending your weekend making the event run so smoothly and such a success. Please pass on my thanks to others that also took part in the event”.

THE Seventy-First Annual Meeting of the Somersetshire Archaeological and Natural History Society was held at Taunton on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, July 29th, 30th and 31st, and was favoured with delightful weather. A meeting of the Council was held at Taunton Castle at 11.15 a.m. ; and was followed at 2.15 p.m. by the Annual General Meeting, which took place in the Council Chamber of the Municipal Buildings (placed at the Society's disposal by the kindness of the Mayor of Taunton). In the absence of Dr. F. J. Haverfield, the outgoing Presi- dent, who was conducting a party of antiquaries over the Roman Wall in the north of England, the senior vice-president, the Rt. Hon. Henry Hobhotjse presided at the beginning of the meeting and proposed the election of Mr. Henry Balfour, M.A., f.r.g.s., F.z.s., f.s.a., as President for the ensuing year. Mr. Hobhouse said that the Society was to be congratulated upon having secured such a well known ethnologist and archaeologist as Mr. Balfour, in succession to such a distin- guished Roman scholar as Dr. Haverfield. For many years Mr. Balfour has filled the important position of Curator of the Pitt Rivers Museum in the University of Oxford ; he was a past President of the Royal Anthropological Institute and of Section H of the British Association. Mr. C. Tite seconded, and the motion having been heartily carried, Mr. Balfour took the chair as president.

  • Walters, H B, the Church Bells of Somerset, Part II, Volume 66
    Cfje Cfmrcb TBelte of Somerset BY H. B. WALTERS, M.A., F.S.A. IN 1875, now forty-five years ago, the Rev. Canon H. T. Ellacombe of Clyst St. Mary, Devonshire, published a monograph on the Church Bells of Somerset, in continuation of his previous work on those of Devonshire. After a brief intro- duction in which something was said of the inscriptions on the mediaeval bells, and somewhat less of their founders, a list was given of the inscriptions on all (or rather, nearly all) the bells of the Somerset churches, ancient and modern. The indefatigable author had then reached the ripe age of eighty, and the book is a monument of an old man's industry. But for this very reason he was necessarily dependent upon the assistance of correspondents and helpers for all his informa- tion/and although he personally visited every tower but one in Devon (previously to 1867), it is probable that he never actually saw a single bell in Somerset. He tells us in fact, in his preface, how his information was all obtained by diligent posting of letters to incumbents, churchwardens, and even parish clerks. The result of this, however, was that his descriptions of the bells were by no means either as full or as accurate as could have been wished. Many of his correspondents were doubtless inexperienced in reading inscriptions, especially in old lettering, and they were liable to miss ornaments or marks in unusual positions. Thus at Hornblotton and at Lovington mediaeval bells are passed over in silence ;* at other places inscriptions 1.

  • Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide
    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.

This week has been a wet and windy one and I am sure you can not wait for a change to more stable weather. The children however are not fazed by the weather and they embrace the time to be together. I hope you all have a lovely, restful weekend as we have an action packed last week planned. Squirrels class, remember you will be visiting Nunney Castle and not arriving at school on Monday morning! We will be thinking of you. Take a look at what Owls have been doing this week: The class have done an impressive job with a competition they have entered. Mrs Langton spoke to them about Help the Hero’s. This is a national competition to design the next issue of stamps for Help the Heroes.
