TXT'HEN the Society visited this Church in 1874 the late V V Mr. Heale, the rector, read a paper on it in continua- tion of one he had previously contributed to our Journal. In it he called attention to a memorial slab, originally on the floor of the church porch, but removed by him in 1868 to the vestry wall, where you see it now. The inscription is much obliter- ated, but what remains should, accordim/ to Mr. Heale^ be read : " Hie jacet domina Kathina Stuccli dna de pontyngton que obiit iii die anno . cccc . ii."^ Mr. Heale was much exercised to discover who the entombed lady was. Reading the name as Stuccli, he at first attributed it to a Dame Stucley of the Devonshire family of that name, (1) A careful rubbing, kindly made for me by Messi's. Merrick and 8on, the contractors, reveals the word " dni " after "anno," and shews that what Mr. Heale read as C, repeated for four hundred, is X of medieval form.

Responsibility of Your Parish Council the Parish Council Has
Responsibility of your Parish Council The parish council has responsibility for local issues, including setting an annual precept (local rate) to cover the council’s operating costs and producing annual accounts for public scrutiny. The parish council evaluates local planning applications and works with the local police, district council officers, and neighbourhood watch groups on matters of crime, security, and traffic. The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning. Conservation matters (including trees and listed buildings) and environmental issues are also the responsibility of the council. The village falls within the Non-metropolitan district of West Somerset, which was formed on April 1, 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, having previously been part of Williton Rural District.[2] The district council are responsible for local planning and building control, local roads, council housing, environmental health, markets and fairs, refuse collection and recycling, cemeteries and crematoria, leisure services, parks, and tourism. Somerset County Council are responsible for running the largest and most expensive local services such as education, social services, libraries, main roads, public transport, policing and fire services, trading standards, waste disposal and strategic planning. It is part of the Bridgwater and West Somerset constituency in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election, and part of the South West England constituency of the European Parliament which elects seven MEPs using the d'Hondt method of party-list proportional representatives. -

Later Prehistoric and Romano-British Occupation at Townsend Farm, Poyntington
LATER PREHISTORIC AND ROMANO-BRITISH OCCUPATION AT TOWNSEND FARM, POYNTINGTON. GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY AND EVALUATION 2010-11 CLARE RANDALL ABSTRACT Geophysical survey and trial excavations were carried out on two fields, Hanglands and Fairmile, at Townsend Farm, Poyntington, Dorset. Gradiometry was carried out across the entirely of Hanglands. Despite having been seriously affected by ploughing it produced evidence of linear cut features and included curvilinear anomalies possibly representing roundhouses. Three evaluation trenches were positioned with the aim of characterising the geophysical anomalies, understanding the quality, preservation, and gaining some chronological understanding. Despite considerable truncation by ploughing, an enclosure ditch and a curvilinear gully of later prehistoric date were identified as well as an undated terrace along the break in slope on the eastern side of the field, which could be Romano-British or medieval. Gradiometry over a small area at the north end of Fairmile, identified anomalies on a rectilinear alignment where Romano-British pottery had been recovered from the surface, including a South East Dorset Orange Wiped Ware sherd of the late 4th-early 5th century AD. The anomalies are suggestive of a substantial Romano-British building and associated features. The limited investigations have demonstrated an area of later Iron Age occupation adjacent to what appears to be a a previously unrecorded villa. INTRODUCTION The work at Townsend Farm, Poyntington, was prompted by the discovery of a selection of pottery and burned stone by Mr Gareth Lewis whilst metal detecting. The South Somerset Archaeological Research Group (SSARG) was invited to carry out a geophysical survey and exploratory excavation, which took place over the summer, autumn and winter of 2010-2011. -

Spatial Variability of the Purbeck-Wight Fault Zone - a Long-Lived Tectonic Element in the Southern UK
*Manuscript Click here to view linked References Spatial variability of the Purbeck-Wight Fault Zone - a long-lived tectonic element in the southern UK. 1Westhead, R.K, 1McCarthy, D., 2Collier, J. S. and 3Sanderson, D.J. 1British Geological Survey, The Lyell Centre, Research Avenue South, Edinburgh, EH14 4AP, UK. [email protected] (Corresponding author) 2Department of Earth Science and Engineering, Imperial College London, RSM Building, Prince Consort Road, London, SW7 2BP, UK. 3Faculty of Engineering and the Environment, University of Southampton, Southampton, SO17 1BJ, UK. Keywords: Inversion, tectonics, Alpine, Purbeck, Weymouth, Lyme Abstract New seamless onshore to offshore bedrock (1:10k scale) mapping for the Lyme Bay area is used to resolve the westward termination of the Purbeck-Wight Fault Zone (PWFZ) structure, comprising one of the most prominent, long-lived (Variscan-Cimmerian-Alpine) structural lineaments in the southern UK. The study area lies south of the Variscan Frontal Thrust and overlays the basement Variscide Rhenohercynian Zone, in a region of dominant E-W tectonic fabric and a secondary conjugate NW-SE/NE-SW fabric. The PWFZ comprises one of the E-W major structures, with a typical history including Permian to early Cretaceous growth movement (relating to basement Variscan Thrust reactivation) followed by significant Alpine (Helvetic) inversion. Previous interpretations of the PWFZ have been limited by the low resolution (1:250k scale) of the available offshore BGS mapping, and our study fills this gap. We describe a significant change in structural style of the fault zone from east to west. In the Weymouth Bay area, previous studies demonstrate the development of focussed strain associated with the PWFZ, accompanied by distributed strain, N-S fault development, and potential basement uplift in its hangingwall. -

For if a person with gold rings and in fine clothes comes into your assembly, and if a poor person in dirty clothes also comes in, and if you take notice of the one wearing the fine clothes and say, ‘Have a seat here, please’, while to the one who is poor you say, ‘Stand there’, or, ‘Sit at my feet’, have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters. -
