  • Extract of the Survey on Orchard Wyndham, Williton Few Houses Stay
    Extract of the survey on Orchard Wyndham, Williton Few houses stay within the same family for 800 hundred years, but Orchard Wyndham is one of them, having been handed down for generations, not always down the male line, but always in the family. The house and garden of Orchard Wyndham are tucked into a ring of low hills inland from the sea at Watchet, with a stream, called Willett, running through the estate. Beyond lie the Brendon Hills, the Quantocks and Exmoor. So well hidden is Orchard Wyndham that it escaped the notice, not only of the marauding Vikings, but the Domesday survey. By that time the land round the present house was well settled, sheltered from the north by a steep bank; on Blackdown, a hill to the south of the house, there are signs of Bronze Age settlement and remains of a Roman fortification. The remains of a Saxon drainage system, hollowed out oak trees rammed together, were found under the Great Hall in the 1960s. Little is known of the history of the garden in the early years, but the land is sheltered and fertile and there is water from the hills; a lake, to the east of the house has an outlet to a stock pond beside the house which is now an attractive feature of the garden. A 13th century garden lay inside a wall south east of the house. The earliest dated record, 1287, shows that the land was owned by the Orchard, or de Horcherd, family who lived there until the 15th century.

    5/20/2011 Great Western Railway ships - Wikipedi… Great Western Railway ships From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Great Western Railway’s ships operated in Great Western Railway connection with the company's trains to provide services to (shipping services) Ireland, the Channel Islands and France.[1] Powers were granted by Act of Parliament for the Great Western Railway (GWR) to operate ships in 1871. The following year the company took over the ships operated by Ford and Jackson on the route between Wales and Ireland. Services were operated between Weymouth, the Channel Islands and France on the former Weymouth and Channel Islands Steam Packet Company routes. Smaller GWR vessels were also used as tenders at Plymouth and on ferry routes on the River Severn and River Dart. The railway also operated tugs and other craft at their docks in Wales and South West England.

He was responsible for designing three large ships, the SS Great Western (1837), SS Great Britain (1843; now preserved at Bristol), and SS Great Eastern (1858).

O. Prestwich, has been the importance of the king’s household knights. In his first book, War, Politics and Finance under Edward I, published in 1972, Michael asked and answered such key questions as ‘how were [knights] recruited for the household, how long did they serve, and what were their rewards?’ He showed that the knights, a body about 100 strong in 1284–5, formed the core of royal armies, and ‘might also be used on matters of state quite unconnected with the business of campaigning’.

    Walk 3: circular walk to dunster Length: 3 ½ miles / 5.5 Km Good For: Difficulty: Easy / Stile free Theme: History Duration: 2/3 hours depending on speed of walking and time spent in Dunster Dunster originated as “Dunn’s Torre”, a craggy fortification overlooking the Bristol Channel which William the Conqueror gave to the powerful de Mohun family to build a castle to protect the coast. In 1375 the feudal barony was purchased by the Luttrell family who owned the Castle until 1976 when it was gifted to the National Trust. From Dunster Beach car park (1), walk in a westerly direction across the grass near to the shingle of the beach until you reach a gap in the fence (do not take the drive leading to the chalets). Follow ECP signposts and waymarks and walk across the grass area between the chalets and the beach keeping closer to the beach than the chalets. Note on the way a profusion of wild flowers, in season, most notably Evening Primrose and Biting Stonecrop. Continue on this path for approximately 1km until you come to another gap in the fence. Discover The Secret Somerset Coast - Walk 3: Circular walk to Dunster Page 2 of 6 Leave the ECP (2) and turn left following the footpath signs for Dunster. The structures in front of you as you leave the coast path are Second World War “pillbox” defences. Continue inland on this path, over the footbridge and walk until you come to a metal gate (3).
