    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.

  • 1 I've Met Many Special People in the Last 4 and a Half Years I Have Spent in the Delightful Isle Valley. Sadly, Some of Them
    I’ve met many special people in the last 4 and a half years I have spent in the delightful Isle Valley. Sadly, some of them have reached the end of their earthly journey and we have had to say farewell. One such was Hilary Bolitho MBE lately of Broadway. She was the first person who called on the rectory after I moved in to give me a warm welcome and to ask if there was anything she could do to help. I was having difficulty fitting my washing machine. You know what it’s like when you move home – you remember the kettle but forget to leave the monkey wrench handy. 30 minutes later there was the resourceful Hilary walking up the drive with said implement. That was the first of many examples of how Hilary helped me over the coming months and years. Most of all I enjoyed sitting in her front room with a glass or two of wine and some nibbles and hearing her stories of people near and far. She was known to all the dairy farmers in Somerset and gained their respect for you had to be on your toes when Hilary paid a visit on behalf of the Milk Marketing Board – tough but fair they say! She poured heart and soul into church, village and county (though Cornwall remained her first love) and was recognised for her service with an MBE, chosen to be a recipient of maundy money from the Queen’s hand, and the Somerset Community Service Award. She was a true friend to me, to the blind of Somerset and to many.
