  • A History of St. Michael's Church
    A history of St. Michael’s Church Creech St. Michael St. Michael's Church in Creech St. Michael The ancient church of St. Michael stands above the flood plain of the River Tone, in the village of Creech St. Michael near Taunton in Somerset. The church has been standing on this site since at least the 13th century, not only experiencing, but also reflecting, the changes of over 700 years. In 2013 the village of Creech St. Michael is growing fast with on-going new development. It sits just 2 miles from junction 25 of the M5 and 3 miles east from the county town of Taunton. It boasts a number of local industries and a range of facilities. As it stands now the church building presents perhaps an unpretentious and unassuming vista on the edge of the village. In the 14th century it would have dominated the area and played a central role in village life. The early history of the village of Creech St. Michael is uncertain. It is likely that the name comes from the Old English “Muchel Critch” meaning “large creek” (differentiating this village from Little Creech near West Hatch). This seems to be partially confirmed by the fact that the church was dedicated to “All Saints” until at least 1532. It is thought that the title of “St. Michael” is possibly a later corruption of “Muchel”, from the Saxon word for “great” or “large” (this had happened by 1742). What is certain is that Creech St. Michael was a thriving village under the name of Critch or Muchel Critch in the 11th century when William 1 (the Conqueror) commissioned the Domesday Book.

  • SWT Housing Newsletter 2020
    WINTER 2020 Housing News Great Homes for Local Communities Introduction from Cllr Francesca Smith (Housing Portfolio Holder) Welcome to our December issue of the Somerset West and Taunton Housing Newsletter. Going forward we intend to produce a newsletter for you to read every quarter. The next one will be due in spring and you can also find this newsletter online at www.somersetwestandtaunton.gov.uk. We have all been through so much this year, especially with lockdowns during the year. Just as we were gaining momentum after the first lockdown, we had to lock down again. We will of course continue to support our residents during the global pandemic and reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus. Despite, the difficulties this year, the Housing Directorate has continued to deliver against their objectives of delivering more new homes, providing great customer services and improving our existing homes and neighbourhoods. I hope you enjoy reading about the great things that have been achieved in this edition. The future of Local Government still remains subject to change and I wrote to you in November to make you aware of those changes. You may wish to look through the “Stronger Somerset” (www. strongersomerset.co.uk) and “One Council” (www.onesomerset.org.uk) information to familiarise yourself with the current situation. Lastly but certainly not least “I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!” Annual Report 2019/2020 Highlights 83% of our Deane Helpline Our Debt & customers rated the service Benefit Advisor they received as excellent helped 444 tenants We spent 7.9 million repairing, maintaining and We completed 41 major improving your homes and disability adaptations and communal areas.

  • Newsletter Aug 2012 for the Parishes of Bickenhall, Curland, Orchard Portman with Thurlbear and Staple Fitzpaine
    “Working Together for a Better Community” Issue No 5 Newsletter Aug 2012 For the Parishes of Bickenhall, Curland, Orchard Portman with Thurlbear and Staple Fitzpaine Virtually every corner of the British Isles has been owned and tilled, cropped and grazed for at least 7,000 years. There is hardly a square yard of land that has not been utilised by someone since the arrival of Neolithic man; the landscape we love and admire is almost entirely man-made. We don’t own the land; we’re merely looking after it. elcome to the fifth issue of the Neroche Villages’ Newsletter, which hopes to satisfy the need identified in the Parish Plan for a ‘hard copy’ local news and information medium delivered free to every household in Neroche Parish. The aim of this publication is to improve communication within the Parish by providing news and information on a wide variety of subjects and issues. 1 Newsletter Foreword David Fothergill (Somerset County Councillor) - June 2012 In my role as County Councillor I get to see a wide cross section of newsletters, sadly some appear tired and lacking enthusiasm, seemingly unloved apart from a few dedicated producers. I am delighted to say that the Neroche Villages Newsletter is totally the opposite of any of these criticisms; it is vibrant, interesting, informative and reflects the community it serves. A very big well done is deserved by all the team, from editor to volunteer deliverers, who seem to take the self-funding newsletter from strength to strength. It seems difficult to believe but in ten months’ time (where has the last three years gone?!) we will be electing a new County Council.
