  • Somerset Geology-A Good Rock Guide
    SOMERSET GEOLOGY-A GOOD ROCK GUIDE Hugh Prudden The great unconformity figured by De la Beche WELCOME TO SOMERSET Welcome to green fields, wild flower meadows, farm cider, Cheddar cheese, picturesque villages, wild moorland, peat moors, a spectacular coastline, quiet country lanes…… To which we can add a wealth of geological features. The gorge and caves at Cheddar are well-known. Further east near Frome there are Silurian volcanics, Carboniferous Limestone outcrops, Variscan thrust tectonics, Permo-Triassic conglomerates, sediment-filled fissures, a classic unconformity, Jurassic clays and limestones, Cretaceous Greensand and Chalk topped with Tertiary remnants including sarsen stones-a veritable geological park! Elsewhere in Mendip are reminders of coal and lead mining both in the field and museums. Today the Mendips are a major source of aggregates. The Mesozoic formations curve in an arc through southwest and southeast Somerset creating vales and escarpments that define the landscape and clearly have influenced the patterns of soils, land use and settlement as at Porlock. The church building stones mark the outcrops. Wilder country can be found in the Quantocks, Brendon Hills and Exmoor which are underlain by rocks of Devonian age and within which lie sunken blocks (half-grabens) containing Permo-Triassic sediments. The coastline contains exposures of Devonian sediments and tectonics west of Minehead adjoining the classic exposures of Mesozoic sediments and structural features which extend eastward to the Parrett estuary. The predominance of wave energy from the west and the large tidal range of the Bristol Channel has resulted in rapid cliff erosion and longshore drift to the east where there is a full suite of accretionary landforms: sandy beaches, storm ridges, salt marsh, and sand dunes popular with summer visitors.

  • July/August 2021
    JULY/AUGUST 2021 Hi folks, In early June a local friend texted me to say that a River Warbler had appeared at Ham Wall – the first in England for ten years. It was a Saturday and the sermon still needed to be written, but on Sunday, after the services were over, I sped drove carefully over there. It was a bird you could hear before seeing it – a loud grasshopper-like trill – but it wasn’t hard to spot, either, as it had conveniently decided to perch close to the footpath to the Avalon Hide. Even luckier for me – it decided to land on a reed almost opposite where I was standing! The thought struck me then – what if church were to be more like this? What if we were habitually on the alert for where the Holy Spirit might be particularly evident and acting powerfully? What if we were more like expectant birders responding to a new rarity, going straight to where we might experience more of God’s acting in power? Sometimes events do occur which appear to be inspired by the Holy Spirit – will we be among the expectant ones or among the sceptics? Regular weekly worship is really important – I wouldn’t be a vicar if I didn’t believe this passionately! (Likewise, rare birds wouldn’t be discovered without birdwatchers regularly monitoring their local patches, day by day, week by week!) But I wonder what it would be like if, alongside our regular worship, we were more expectant for God in his grace to act powerfully in unexpected ways, in unexpected places – and then to respond to this with eagerness? Every blessing, Rich Tweedy [email protected] Cream Teas in July Café Church is back! 17th July: Cream teas on the lawn at at the Shapwick Cricket Pavilion Catcott Burtle Farm, Burtle, TA7 8NE at 2.30pm Please call Rosemary to rd every 3 Sunday of the month book on 01278 722321.
