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.

  • Update from Somerset Waste Partnership
    9 July, 2021 Update from Somerset Waste Partnership Returning for missed collections We encourage residents to report all missed collections and to do it online where possible. People can call their district councils but Customer Service teams are extremely busy and the My Waste Services menu on the SWP homepage www.somersetwaste.gov.uk will be the quickest route for those with internet access and is available 24/7. This is the current position regarding returning for reported missed collections is: • Missed rubbish and garden waste collections - we will return within two working days. Make sure you leave it out in the usual place. • Missed recycling collections - we will do our best to return within two days. If we cannot get back in that time we will return on your next scheduled collection day the following week. We are reflecting this in communications and through Customer Service teams. All containers out by 6am please Recycling, rubbish and garden waste should all be put out the night before collection days, or by 6am at the latest on the day itself. This will allow crews to start collections early if needed - for example during a period of hot weather - and give SWP and SUEZ more flexibility when planning collections. Disruption to collections Crews will be working on Saturday (10 July) to catch-up on any missed collections from today. Recycling collections will be missed in part of Norton Fitzwarren today and returned for tomorrow, as will garden waste that may be missed in parts of West Somerset today. Affected residents should leave their containers out for the Saturday collections.
