It was noted that the school was currently without a lollipop person but it was also noted that the lollipop service did not cover pre-school hours. Mrs Trott reported that parents had expressed concern at the dangers of crossing Bell Hill with small children, due to the speed and volume of the traffic and asked for consideration to be given to a zebra or pelican crossing to address this problem. Cllr Scarrow confirmed that she shared the concerns raised and reported that the issue had been discussed at a recent governor’s meeting. She expressed concern that the 20 mph limit was not slowing the traffic down as it came into the village. Cllr Eastment reported that there were technical issues relating to the installation of any pedestrian crossing. He reported that the lollipop lady had left her post due to safety concerns. He also reported that the speed indicator device had been installed at the bottom of Bell Hill and the data would be extracted and reported to the police and to Highways. -

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. -

The 'Great' Battle of the Croscombe Cross and My Village Ancestry
The ‘Great’ Battle of the Croscombe Cross and my village ancestry By Mark Wareham Updated 26th August 2013 In the late 19th century there was an uprising over the preservation of the medieval cross in the village of Croscombe in Somerset. This incident was as a result of efforts by the authorities to destroy the ancient monument and I was delighted to discover that a couple of my ancestors and other family members were directly involved and that one of them was one of the ringleaders. This is a brief story of the skirmish with same notes on the Say, Carver and Marshman families of the Croscombe. I shall start with descriptions of the ‘battle’ from two authors. From ‘Old Crosses of Somerset, 1877, by C Pooley’ “Some years ago, an incident of no little importance occurred in connection with this Cross, which deserves to be recorded. The local way-wardens, thinking the Cross an incumbrance, endeavoured to remove it. It seems that the removal of so ancient a landmark in historical associations of the village proved a graver and more serious matter than these enlightened wardens of the way were aware of. The inhabitants gathered around the old Cross, and came to its defence with bold and determined hearts, bent upon its preservation, but not before the shaft had been hurled to the ground, and its finial broken in twain. The demolishing party having been driven off, a flag was hoisted by the brave villagers bearing upon it the legend ‘BE FAITHFUL;’ this was struck during the melee but as quickly regained, and the standard of the Cross again waived proudly over the heads of the loyal and Christian defenders. -

Meare primary school sing for the community …… A group of children from Meare Primary School performed a mix of traditional and new Christmas songs for everyone at the village Carol Service as well as the Hosted Post Office during December.
