We’re Out and About with Hares this month, as you’ll guess from the cover. We’ve illustrated our article with images taken, with permission, from the work of local artist, the late Richard Pocock. March sees the days lengthening, and spring seems well on the way with snowdrops brightening our gardens, and tempting us out of doors— where we are faced with the need to shape up in the garden. Green Fingers will give you some hints! In Village News we welcome several recent arrivals in the villages, and congratulate our Bell Ringers on their recent ringing success. We also bid farewell to a former resident. Once again Marilyn goes walking around Langford Budville as it was in the 1940s, in the second half of a Walk Back in Time. And we wonder if anyone recognises where our own Arch was erected—and when? Those of us who enjoy the lovely Soup Lunches at St Peter’s church will welcome our Dairy Delights recipe this month—we feature Trevor Pritchard’s delicious bread recipe. You can find out when the next one will be from What’s on, and while you’re there, make a note of the chance to view a partial eclipse of the sun, courtesy of The Night Sky’s Keiron McGrath (weather permitting of course!) Our School had a visit from a Very Important Person - the High Sheriff of Somerset! One of the pupils has written a report for us. And there’s a March Maze for our Young Buddies too. We’ve put in a request for some new blood fo help us at Round About, but we also need to hear from you what you want to see in the magazine – what you’d like more of – or less of! If you have an interesting story to tell us, please get in touch. If you know someone else with an interesting story, ask them if they will share it with us. And if you know of a local craftsmen or tradesperson that you can recommend please pass on their details so we can approach them about advertising in the magazine.

We would love to see more locals attend so they can be trained on the use of the village and many other community defibrillators should it be required for themselves, their families or just someone in need. The paramedics will show you the use and safety of the defib on adults and children. All are welcome, you can't be too old or too young to learn how to use a defib or advise someone else how to. Please visit www.swast.nhs.uk to find out more about the Ambulance Service, what they do and how you can help. Nynehead Local History Society meet on the second Friday evening at 7.30. For dates and subject contact Susie Kenward 01823 662856. Appley Cross WI meet on 2nd Tuesday each month in Bathealton Village Hall. Contact Anne Hendy for details 01823 400476. 5 All About Round About The editorial Team of Round About Magazine hosted a party on the evening of Sunday 15th February to celebrate one year of publication, and to thank all those who had contributed to the success of the magazine and without whose help the magazine would never have seen the light of day. We tried to invite everyone who had made a contribution, and hopefully did not miss anyone. On the evening we had a good turn-out and it was an enjoyable celebration. Marilyn Lilley on behalf of the editorial team thanked everyone for their contributions and presented Laighton Waymouth, our wonderful printer, with a couple of books which we hope he will find time to enjoy. The Editorial Team currently consists of Marilyn Lilley, Saranne Cessford, Laurian Cooper, Barbara Hughes and Sue Osborne. We are all volunteers and we get a great deal of satisfaction from doing the job. To our immense regret Barbara is leaving the team and we need to replace her. Now we need your help. We understand that you are busy but we really need someone to help us with our accounts which Saranne has been doing along with her other jobs. Whoever takes this on needn’t do more than keep the books, and send out invoices etc. unless they wish to do so. They need to understand basic book keeping but the excel spread sheet we use is already set up, so it would be largely record keeping. We need another person on the editorial team too: We’d welcome help from anyone with ideas, and particularly from younger people. Marilyn is stepping back for a month to concentrate on updating the Village Website, and Saranne will try and fill her shoes during that time – so please send contributions to her ([email protected]) or to the Round About email address - [email protected]. Saranne Cessford 6 Green Fingers - Spring Pruning Hints The dilemma when pruning is to know not only HOW to prune but WHEN and WHAT to prune. A general rule of thumb is to prune summer and autumn flowering shrubs in the dormant season i.e. January through to March, and to prune spring flowering shrubs when the flowers have faded in late summer or autumn. Not quite so simple as it sounds: What about repeat flowering shrubs like roses, hydrangeas and clematis.? Roses, other than climbers and ramblers, can be pruned any time between January to March depending on the weather, old woody stems removed and the rose cut down by about a third to a good outward facing bud. Climbers and ramblers are best pruned in the autumn after the flowers have faded. Hydrangeas: those with the flattened head and smaller leaf (serrata) can be pruned now in March and the large mophead one (macrophylla) when the flowers have faded in late summer. Neither need hard pruning just shaping and the weak branches taken out. Clematis are tricky as it depends when they flower. The ones that need attention now are the late-flowering varieties. Cut these back to a pair of strong buds about 1 foot from the ground. Other shrubs needing spring pruning: Wisteria - cut to about the 2nd bud. Buddleia - cut down to a strong bud. Fuchsia can be cut down to almost ground level. Spirea - cut down to about 9inches above ground level. All the books advise one to be brave, “If in doubt cut it out” seems to be the message. So all you need is a sharp pair of secateurs and a nice warm day. Sue Osborne 7 Future events at the Hall Come to the Cabaret - Saturday 7 March 2015 at 7.00pm For one night only, Changing Faces present something a little different - a cabaret evening with entertainment from a variety of local artistes. Tickets £10 include a light supper. See page 3 for contact details. Defibrillator Training - Tuesday 7 April 2015 at 7.00pm The training session will last about an hour, is free, and no previous experience is necessary. All are welcome. Please see page 3 for details. Solar Eclipse - Friday 20 March in the morning The eclipse will be a partial one within the UK. Here in the South West the Sun will be 85% eclipsed. Starting at 08.26 and ending at 10.41am it should be an impressive sight.

  • Report of Tfje Curator of Caunton Castle Museum
    Report of tfje Curator of Caunton Castle Museum for tfte pear entitng December 3ist, 1909. A LTHOUGrH the objects acquired for the Museum during 1909 are, numerically, rather fewer than for the last two or three years, some of the acquisitions, especially those of archaeological and local interest, are of great importance. Foremost among these is the gold tore, or necklet, of the Bronze Age found at Yeovil, which is fully dealt with by tbe Curator in a paper in the second part of this volume (Proc. Som. Arch. Soc, lv, 1909). A facsimile of the tore, in silver-gilt, has been made for exhibition, but the original can be seen on application by those specially interested in the dis- covery. From excavations conducted by the Curator, additions have been made to the Museum from Charterhouse-on-Mendip and Maumbury Rings, Dorchester ; while another series of antler picks and other objects found in the excavations at Avebury are temporarily exhibited, and the 1907 relics from the Glaston- bury Lake Village are still on view in the Society's Museum. Excavations have also accounted for archaeological acquisitions " from Downend, Preston Plucknett and Portland. " Finds from quarrying operations on Ham Hill have perhaps not been so numerous this year, but some of the objects from that place, added to the Museum by Mr. Hensleigh Walter during 1909, are of considerable interest. Of other acquisitions of local interest the Museum has been enriched by a staff of office of the ancient borough of Newport, North Curry, the old coach of the High Sheriff of Somerset, and the Tudor archway of oak removed from the site of the 86 Sixty-first Annual Meeting, new Post Office at Taunton.

CATHERINE PRESS LTD 8 YORK BUILDINGS, ADELPHI 1909 t^ CHAPTER X. The topography of Dunster, The station of the Great Western Railway bearing the name of ' Dunster ' is actually in the parish of Carhampton. A little to the south of it stands Marsh Bridge, formerly of some importance as situate on the road between the Haven, or sea-port, of Dunster and the town. It was reckoned to be in Dunster, and in the middle ages the commonalty of that borough was responsible for its maintenance. ^ Higher Marsh, now a farmhouse close by, seems to occupy the site of Marsh Place, the cradle of the Stewkleys, who eventually became rich and migrated to Hinton Ampner in Hampshire. Further south are several scattered houses, dignified collectively by the name of Marsh Street. There were formerly two public approaches to the town of Dunster from the north. One of these, known in the fourteenth century as Brook Lane, diverged from the highroad between Carhampton and Minehead at the western end of Loxhole Bridge, formerly Brooklanefoot Bridge, which spans the river that there divides the parishes of Carhampton and Dunster. ^ The other, skirting round the eastern side of Conigar, was a southern continuation of Marsh Street, and was anciently known as St. Thomas's Street, ' D.C.M.
