After meeting with considerable opposition and persecution from the Established Church and others, the Methodist Conference decided to support the work by providing missionary ministers. The early work of building a chapel, fighting for their rights and gaining a degree of official sanction and protection is part of the story.

The light may well be shining down the tunnel now but we are still restricted for our own good and there have been a number of shows that are being cancelled still. Mainly be- cause the planning has to start now for events in a few months time. Rodger is keeping up with this and the events list is cur- rent up to 29th March, other changes will be reported via members only Facebook page, club website and the event themselves. It is still fairly unclear when things can get going again, depends on the sensibility or stupidity of our popula- tion and politicians. It is getting better, vaccination seems to be going very well so it does look like we will be able to start planning a bit soon. Fingers crossed. The cold and gloom of winter, although impressive in it’s own right, is giving way to spring. Things are warming up, even though some days are a bit dodgy, and the usual heralds of the new year are the early bulbs brightening up the gardens. Birds are in and out of my hedge nesting and arguing, seeds are popping up in the greenhouse and I have made a start on the cars. I plan to build up slowly after my partial hibernation so have been out and changed the rear brake shoes on the Herald.

  • Dowty in a Village Called Atworth by Des A.E
    Dowty in a village called Atworth by Des A.E. Rice Many times the question has been asked, “What was a high technology firm such as Dowty doing in a Wiltshire village called Atworth? Some answers have been, “I don’t have a clue” and “Everything and everybody has to be somewhere.” That somewhere, Atworth, is on that stretch of road between Melksham and Bath. We are all aware that the Romans were in the area, but in the more recent past it was internationally famous within the aerospace industries, because of the Dowty factory. Dowty’s – why did they come to the village? The factory was previously The New Mendip Engineering Company, but although taken into the Dowty Group during 1948, it continued under the name New Mendip until the 1970s, when it became Dowty Fuel Systems main machine shop. New Mendip would suggest that there must have been an old one. Mendip brings to mind the Mendip Hills of Somerset, Cheddar cheese, strawberries, Wells Cathedral, Wookey Hole, Cheddar Gorge and cider apples. But this carboniferous bump with green fields tries to mask and hide the true industrial history, spanning thousands of years. It is an area subjected to speculation and urban vandalism on a scale almost unrivalled in these islands ­ mining, manufacturing and quarrying. Why! Even Cheddar Gorge is partially the remains of a stone quarry. The very rich mineral deposits have been exploited there since as far back as the Iron Age, especially lead. The Romans realised the wealth of their conquest by introducing organisation in the area.
