Withycombe is approximately four miles from the coastal resort of Minehead and two and a half miles from the sea at Blue Anchor. Taunton, the County town of Somerset, with its mainline rail service and access to the motorway network is approximately twenty one miles. Withycombe is on the edge of the Exmoor National Park which is an area of outstanding natural beauty and the many renowned places of interest such as Culbone, Dunkery, Dunster, Lynton, Lynmouth, Oare, Porlock Weir, Tarr Steps, Selworthy, Valley of Rocks, Watersmeet and Winsford are all within short motoring distance.

  • Flooding in West Somerset: Overview of Local Risks and Ideas for Action
    FLOODING IN WEST SOMERSET: OVERVIEW OF LOCAL RISKS AND IDEAS FOR ACTION A discussion document by the West Somerset Flood Group June 2014 The West Somerset Flood Group WHO WE ARE We are a group of town and parish councils (and one flood group) actively working to reduce flood risk at local level. We have come together because we believe that the communities of West Somerset should have a voice in the current debate on managing future flood risk. We also see a benefit in providing a local forum for discussion and hope to include experts, local- authority officers and local landowners in our future activities. We are not experts on statutory duties, powers and funding, on the workings of local and national government or on climate change. We do, however, know a lot about the practicalities of working to protect our communities, we talk to both local people and experts, and we are aware of areas where current structures of responsibility and funding may not be working smoothly. We also have ideas for future action against flooding. We are directly helped in our work by the Environment Agency, Somerset County Council (Flood and Water Management team, Highways Department and Civil Contingencies Unit), West Somerset Council, Exmoor National Park Authority and the National Trust and are grateful for the support they give us. We also thank our County and District Councillors for listening to us and providing support and advice.

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.

  • Early Dunster So Far… Exploring the House Histories
    Early Dunster so far… Exploring the House Histories Exploring House Histories in Dunster The Early Dunster Project is primarily about exploring the history of the bricks and mortar – not forgetting the roof timbers, fireplaces, floor tiles etc. – that make up the historic fabric of the buildings in the village. But alongside that we are also interested to know about who lived in the properties – • when did they live there, and for how long? • were they owners or tenants? • what work did they do? • who were their neighbours and relations? • what happened to their children? • how did they live? This is still very much work-in-progress, and likely to continue so for some time – each time we answer one question it throws up a few new ones! So please bear in mind that some of what is presented here is provisional, subject to more investigation and review. But we can – thus far – introduce some of the documents and other sources that we are using in our research, and a few of the families we are meeting on the way. Early Dunster so far … Exploring the House Histories 1843 Tithe Survey Our starting point for each property is the Tithe Survey, which happened throughout England & Wales in the early 1840s – for Dunster, it was done in 1842. The Tithe Apportionment itemises, for each parish, the names of all landowners and occupiers of each plot of land, with the land acreage and its use, and the tithe rent charge. Though it’s mainly about land, it includes domestic houses. The Tithe Map charts the numbered plots described in the Apportionment.

  • West Somerset District Council Election Results 1973-2011
    West Somerset District Council Election Results 1973-2011 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

  • Local Environment Agency Plan
    local environment agency plan WEST SOMERSET RIVERS CONSULTATION REPORT FEBRUARY 1998 BRISTOL BRIDGWATER DISPLAY COPY PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE En v ir o n m e n t H A g e n c y National Information Centre The Environment Agency Rio House Waterside Drive Aztec West BRISTOL BSI2 4UD Due for return l.fe Foreword This Local Environment Agency Plan (LEAP) Consultation Report represents a significant step forward in tackling environmental issues. It has been clear for many years that the problems of land, air and water, particularly in the realm of pollution control, cannot be adequately addressed individually. They are interdependent, each affecting the others. The creation of the Environment Agency with the responsibilities for all three media provided a major opportunity to take an holistic approach which is now reflected in this LEAP Consultation Report. The Plan area includes significant parts of Exmoor National Park and the Quantocks Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which are nationally prized for their, exceptional wild beauty. It also includes the major seaside resort of Minehead together with other tourist centres such as Poiiock, Watchet and Dunster which support a developing tourist industry. Here in West Somerset, we must be ever vigilant to protect our local environment from the growing pressures of tourism and development whilst recognising their importance in the local economy. The environmental challenges of the area are set out in the Plan in a way which has not been done before, raising important environmental issues which should now be addressed. It is, I believe, vital reading for everyone concerned with the environmental future of North Wessex.
