  • Sixteenth-Century Performance and Celebration in Yeovil, Co. Somerset, and Sherborne, Co
    Early Theatre 6.2 (2003) rosalind c. hays Crossing County Boundaries: Sixteenth-Century Performance and Celebration in Yeovil, co. Somerset, and Sherborne, co. Dorset Dramatic activity in the neighbouring towns of Sherborne, Dorset, and Yeovil, Somerset, was linked together in a region defined not so much by political or physical boundaries as by evidence of a mid-sixteenth-century flurry of regional cooperation when each market town rented costumes to smaller communities in the area (see Table 1 and Map 1).1 This essay is a case study, locating this period of regional dramatic activity within the context of a comparative history of performance in the two towns, c1530–1610. Such a study shows three very different things. First, it illustrates both common patterns and the rich variety of drama in the West Country. Although mid-sixteenth-century records suggest that Sherborne and Yeovil were each very much aware of the other’s dramatic traditions,2 their expressions of community were very different, remaining essentially secular in Yeovil’s case, and exhibiting important religious as well as secular elements in the case of Sherborne. If we compare the two parishes’ practices and their responses to religious reformation, we can surmise something of how each expressed its sense of community through performance and find strikingly similar chrono- logical patterns of adaptation to changing circumstances. Secondly, the study exemplifies the value of transcending the borders that tend to define investi- gation of local practice. When Yeovil and Sherborne found their separate customs under threat, the two neighbours helped foster performance in a region that lay outside the boundaries of each town and that straddled the county border (see Map 2).

  • Thornhackett Parish Council
    THORNHACKETT PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of Council Meeting held on Wednesday January 18th 2017 at 1900 hrs in Thornford Village Hall. Present: Cllrs. Rogers, Simpson, Pope, Lewis, Parish Clerk General Public 4 1.Apologies: Cllr. Hewson; C.Cllr. Hall 2.Declaration of Interests: No interests declared. 3.Minutes of last meeting of November 16th 2016. Minutes unanimously approved and signed by the Chairman. 4.Matters Arising: (a) Beer Hackett: Speed limit: Paul Thatcher had responded to the invitation to a site meeting at Beer Hackett. He saw no purpose in the meeting because a speed limit could only result from data accumulated from a monitoring device. Peter Bell had written to the Council, the Leader of DCC and Paul Thatcher. In his letter Mr. Bell outlined the long campaign waged by residents to tackle the growing problem of speeding. Although he felt that it was primarily an issue of inappropriate driving, he asked that a 30 mile limit should be introduced as a first measure. However, he felt that the cost associated with a monitoring appliance was an imposition in the circumstances, given that the residents had produced a consistent stream of reliable evidence over a sustained period of time. Cllr.Pope agreed that speed was a relative factor: larger vehicles needed a longer stopping distance in emergency. Members decided to await Paul Thatcher’s reply before taking any further action.
