  • SCUDAMORE FAMILIES of WELLOW, BATH and FROME, SOMERSET, from 1440
    Skydmore/ Scudamore Families of Wellow, Bath & Frome, Somerset, from 1440 Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study 2015 www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com [email protected] SKYDMORE/ SCUDAMORE FAMILIES OF WELLOW, BATH AND FROME, SOMERSET, from 1440. edited by Linda Moffatt ©2016, from the original work of Warren Skidmore. Revised July 2017. Preface I have combined work by Warren Skidmore from two sources in the production of this paper. Much of the content was originally published in book form as part of Thirty Generations of The Scudamore/Skidmore Family in England and America by Warren Skidmore, and revised and sold on CD in 2006. The material from this CD has now been transferred to the website of the Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com. Warren Skidmore produced in 2013 his Occasional Paper No. 46 Scudamore Descendants of certain Younger Sons that came out of Upton Scudamore, Wiltshire. In this paper he sets out the considerable circumstantial evidence for the origin of the Scudamores later found at Wellow, Somerset, as being Bratton Clovelly, Devon. Interested readers should consult in particular Section 5 of this, Warren’s last Occasional Paper, at the same website. The original text used by Warren Skidmore has been retained here, apart from the following. • Code numbers have been assigned to each male head of household, allowing cross-reference to other information in the databases of the Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study. Male heads of household in this piece have a code number prefixed WLW to denote their origin at Wellow. • In line with the policy of the Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study, details of individuals born within approximately the last 100 years are not placed on the Internet without express permission of descendants.

  • Newsletter No 30
    NEWSLETTER 30 May 1996 GROUP NEWS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING. 11 April 1996 1. Apologies for absence came from Amanda Berry, Philippa and Michael Bishop, Brenda and Angus Buchanan, Gwen Davis, Kirsten Elliott, Andrew Ellis, Lutz Haber, Ruth Hayden, Brian Howard, Marta Inskip, Marek Lewcun, Michael Rowe and John Wroughton. 2. The minutes of the A.G.M. of 13 April 1995 were accepted. 3. The Chairman, John Ede, recalled another rewarding year of meetings and pointed to the impressive range of topics covered during the Group's ten-year history. He noted as well that, provided members renew their subscriptions promptly, they still obtain their membership at no greater cost than when the Group was first founded. 4. The bibliography of publications on Bath, 1911-95, compiled by the HBRG in connection with the Bristol Historical Databases Project, approaches the time of its issue on disk and in print-out. Broad subject categories for organizing the entries have now been agreed. Certain types of publication have been excluded, as well as many slighter items, but the list should still be a valuable aid. HBRG members are asked to report any significant publications missing from the first edition as soon as it becomes available. 5. The Secretary had written to the new Chief Executive of B&NES expressing concern about the future of documentary sources for Bath and asking for details of the new administrative structure for local libraries, city museums, the Bath Record Office and archological services and also the policy with regard to the Somerset Record Office. From the reply it is clear that much still remains undecided and that it is imperative the HBRG keeps a close watching brief on this area.

It was a village that developed by the 16th century into a significant centre of woollen milling and continued so well into the 20th century. On a hillside visible from many points, it makes a significant contribution to the green setting of the World Heritage Site The Character Area is bounded to the north by the Twerton railway viaduct; to the west by Watery Lane, to the south by Kelston View and to the east by the footpath from Bath City Farm (the junction of Kelston View and The Hollow) to Shophouse Road.
