College students can chose to purchase a ticket and pay the driver for each journey or; 2. Make use of any special tickets issued by individual bus operators or; 3. Purchase the Somerset County Council County Ticket (Love the Bus). Careful research and planning is required to ensure the chosen ticket provides the best value for money for each individual student.

  • The Country Was Divided up Into 'Hundreds' – (Even Before Doomsday – No-One Knows Why Hundreds, It Doesn't Make Any Se
    TEXT OF TALK GIVEN BY DR ROBERT DUNNING ABOUT THE SOUTH PETHERTON DIOCESE; IN PARTICLAR THE CHURCHES OF SEAVINGTON ST MICHAEL AND SEAVINGTON ST MARY ON 24 JULY 2009 AT THE CHURCH OF ST PETER’S & ST PAUL’S, SOUTH PETHERTON The Country was divided up into ‘Hundreds’ – (even before doomsday – no-one knows why hundreds, it doesn’t make any sense why they were called hundreds as some of them were quite large and some were small and some were in several bits). They were areas of taxation and lasted up until end of 2nd World War. The Hundred of South Petherton tells us a great deal about when the church began. The Hundred of South Petherton is peculiar as it includes South Petherton, Shepton Beauchamp and Barrington and the Seavingtons, and Lopen (then a tiny gap – Crewkerne hundred?) Then Dinnington and Dowlish, Cudworth, Chillington, Whitestaunton, Dowlish, Cricket. No one knows why it began and continued in that shape. Quite a lot of them in the West County which became Hundreds were units of Royal Estate and became Minster parishes. Probably 2 units, the southern bit we don’t know too much about, but the northern bit we do and that is where we are. It was part of a Royal Estate. This is evidence of the close relationship between the Saxon Kings and the church because the King when he established an Estate, would put a church right in the middle of the hundred and said to the clergy who are there this is your preaching base, go out and spread the gospel.

  • Enquiry What Lies Behind Our Local Buildings?
    Enquiry What lies behind our local buildings? Enquiry This enquiry focuses on local buildings and what they reveal about the ways in which people’s lives have changed in our Focus locality. The enquiry begins with a series of lessons that develop pupils’ knowledge of the local built environment and teaches them how to research their local buildings. Pupils then do independent research on a building or buildings in their own town or village. The conceptual focus must be on change over time e.g. Changes in the whole town or village Changes in a single building: parish church, house, pub, school, railway station... Changes in the churchyard Changes in the high street Changes in a group of buildings: schools, pubs, shops, houses, workshops, community buildings (leisure) Pupils decide on the best way to present their research e.g. PP, virtual tour, exhibition, booklet, documentary film.... Lesson Lesson focus and learning activities Resources 1 How can we find out about changes in our locality? Clues from archaeology. Group work on archaeological finds: What was Archaeological finds it? When was it from? What does it tell us? Are any particularly special?

    3n 3|nt)entorp of Cfjutcb Plate in Somerset. Part III* BY THE REV. E. H. BATES, M.A., AND THE REV. F. HANCOCK, M.A., F.S.A., Prebendary of Wells. compiling another portion of the Inventory, I have had INthe valuable assistance of Prebendary Hancock for the Wiveliscombe District of Dunster Deanery. The descriptions ' of the plate were handed over to me to be reduced to common form,' while the Introductory notice and the notes on each parish, with certain exceptions in square brackets, are by him alone. A change of residence has compelled me to vary the original plan of taking each Archdeaconry in turn. The Midsomer Norton district of the Frome Deanery must be left over for the present. It was possible, however, to take the llchester district, thus completing that deanery. In the Archdeaconry of Taunton the whole of the Crewkerne Deanery has been worked over, and one district of the Dunster Deanery. These four districts contain ninety ancient parishes, and nine modern parishes and chapelries, total ninety-nine. The most interesting and valuable item is the Nettlecombe chalice with its paten, the oldest plate in England bearing a date-letter, whereby its age is exactly known. A full account * Part I, containing the complete Deaneries of Gary and Merston appeared in vol. xlii II districts of Frome and in vol. xliii. ; part containing Martock 12fi Papers, Sfc. will be found in the Introduction to the District and in the notes on the parish. There is a large quantity of Elizabethan plate, exclusively cups arid covers, it being found in fifty-five parishes.

  • Bristol, Bath & Somerset
    © 2009 Lonely Planet 74 Bristol, Bath & SOMERSET & SOMERSET BRISTOL, BATH & S o m e r s e t There’s a kaleidoscopic feel to the southwest’s uppermost corner. Part rural escape, part coastal retreat, part historical textbook, it presents multiple faces to the visitor: one minute you’re travelling through a pastoral hotchpotch of cornfields, copses and willow-shaded bridleways, and the next you’re steaming over a humpbacked hill, plumbing the depths of a limestone cavern, or tracing the curve of a windblown coastline. The accents may be laced with a burr that’s thicker than butter, but don’t be fooled into thinking this is a backward corner of Britain; the stately cities of Bristol and Bath have been setting trends, breaking rules and educating the rest of England for centuries. It’s a county of collision, where wild hill meets tourist town, Georgian crescent meets cobbled street and thatched cottage meets city skyline. Bristol – a gateway to the region – and Bath are essential stops, but Somerset’s also the traditional home of cider, Cheddar cheese and Britain’s tiniest city. In the east are the Mendips and Quantocks, choice walking country and a source of poetic inspiration for Messrs Coleridge and Wordsworth, while the centre of the county conceals the frying-pan flats of the Somerset Levels, a watery wetland and twitcher’s paradise. Smack bang in the middle looms the emerald hump of Glastonbury – King Arthur’s legendary resting place, the realm of a faerie king and the home of everyone’s favourite musical mudfest.

  • 138 CHAPTER 5 the PARRETT NAVIGATION BEFORE 1830 When
    CHAPTER 5 THE PARRETT NAVIGATION BEFORE 1830 When the preliminary programme of research for this study was drawn up the present writer was aware that William Gravatt had been Engineer to the Parrett Navigation Company while he was also acting as Brunel's assistant on the B&ER. 1 It was reasonable to assume that Brunel's presence in Somerset in late 1835, in connection with the B&ER, would have had some bearing on Gravatt's engagement on the PNC, and possibly that Brunel himself might have played a part in the design of the works that were subsequently carried out under Gravatt. It also seemed likely that earlier navigation projects and proposals would have significantly influenced the inception of the PNC and the development of its plans. The aim of this chapter therefore is to trace the history of proposals for improving the navigability of the Parrett above Bridgwater, and of its major tributaries, up to 1830; the developments that culminated in the incorporation of the PNC are examined in Chapter 6, and the subsequent construction of the improvement works is described in Chapter 7. The surviving records of the former Somerset River Authority, its forerunners, and associated concerns such as the PNC, constitute a remarkably large corpus but regrettably they are inconsistent in coverage so that in many areas there is a dearth or even complete absence of relevant evidence. In order to piece together a chronology it has been necessary to rely heavily on chance references that have survived elsewhere, and consequently there is always the possibility that fruitless proposals that would otherwise have had a major impact on the navigation have been missed.
