  • Dedicattons of Tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©Ometsetsftire. “L
    DeDicattons of tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©ometsetsftire. BY THE KEY. E. H. BATES, M.A HE late Mr. W illiam Long contributed to the seventeenth “L volume of the Proceedings in 1871 a classified list of the Church Dedications given by Ecton in his Thesaurus Rerum Ecclesiasticarum, 1742. As Editor of the Bath and Wells Diocesan Kalendar my attention has been frequently drawn, from my own knowledge as well as by numerous correspon- dents, to the many errors and gaps in that list. It became plainly necessary to go behind the Thesaurus to the original sources of information. And here I may be allowed to repro- duce what I have already stated in the preface to the Kalendar for 1905. It should be clearly understood that there is no authoritative list in existence. Among the Public Becords are two works known as Pope Nicholas’ Taxatio of 1291, and the Valor Ec- clesiasticus of 27 Henry VIII (1536), containing the names of all parishes in England and Wales. These were primarily drawn up to ascertain the value of the benefices, and only in- cidentally, as in the case of towms with many churches, are the dedications added. The latter work, to which the title of V^ahr Ecclesiasticus or Liber Regis is generally given, was first printed in 1711 by J ohn Ecton. His preface contains a very interesting account of the early work of the Queen Anne’s Bounty Fund, of which he was Receiver, and of the serious state of affairs in the large towns which led to its foundation.

  • Somerset County Herald ‘Local Notes and Queries’ by Paul Mansfield
    Somerset County Herald ‘Local Notes and Queries’ by Paul Mansfield July 5th 1919 A challenge to our readers. We have much pleasure in recommencing in this issue our column of Local Notes and Queries which proved such a popular feature of this paper for 20 years, but which we were compelled to discontinue for a time owing to difficulties created by the war. We are particularly anxious that this column should consist as far as possible of notes, queries and replies contributed by our readers themselves, and it will very largely depend upon the assistance we receive from them in this direction whether or not the feature shall be continued. It would of course, be an easy matter for us to get a column of such notes written up each week in our own offices, but this is not our purpose in reintroducing this feature in our paper. We want the column to be almost entirely our readers own column, and if they show by their contributions to it that they appreciate such a feature it will be a pleasure to us to help them in every way we can in making the column interesting and useful. If, on the other hand, the contributions we receive from our readers are so few and far between as to suggest that they take little or no interest in such a column, we shall very soon discontinue it, and insert some other feature in it’s place. We therefore invite any and all of our readers who are in any way interested in such matters to send us short interesting notes or queries on any of the following or kindred subjects relating to the district over which the paper

  • Black Death " Is of Doubtful Value
    Cf)e "lBlacfe Deatf)" m ©ometsetsfnre, 1348-9. BY THE REV. PREB. E. H. BATES HARBIN, M.A. IN this paper I have endeavoured to bring together the accumulating evidence from records of all kinds relating to the mortality in the county at this date. The Episcopal registers have already been utilized, but owing to the irregular manner in which the institutions were entered, the dates given in Weaver's Somerset Incumbents are sometimes out by a year or more. Also in estimating the relative proportion of the mortality among the clergy, account must be taken of the number of endowed chantries, where the Bishop had the power of institution, and also of the real number of parishes in Bath and Ilchester. It seemed worth while to try and make these figures as accurate as possible, because they pro- vide the only means whereby this proportion in one class of the population can be definitely stated ; and the figures of contemporary historians checked, and, if necessary, modified. The last issued volume of the Inquisitiones post mortem covers this period and provides a certain amount of informa- tion about the mortality among the landowners, but as will be noticed further on, this information cannot be so precise as in the case of the clergy. The evidence from the Court rolls of two manors is also considered ; and a few miscellaneous items are collected at the end. The terrible expression " Black Death " is of doubtful value. On the one hand it is universally received as referring, without any further explanations, to the great mortality 90 The " Black Death " in Somersetshire, 1348-9.

  • The Flora of Somerset
    * THE FLORA OF SOMERSET BY THE REV. R. P. MURRAY, M.A. VICAR OF SHAPVVICK, DORSET. FLORA OF SOMERSET. BOTANICAL DISTRICTS. r I iHESE are founded on the river basins, and are conse- -J- quently of very unequal size. The most important river in the county is undoubtedly the P arret, which, though it rises in Dorset, almost immediately enters Somerset, and drains all the country lying between the Polden and Quantock hills. This tract it has been found necessary to subdivide. The other chief rivers which belong wholly or in part to Somerset are the Exe, Barle, 'Devonshire' Axe, Brue, 'Somerset' Axe, and Avon. A small area in the south-east of the county is drained by streams flowing into the Stour. I. Dulverton District. —The extreme south-west por- tion of the county, drained by the rivers Exe and Barle, which have their sources among the elevated bogs of Exmoor. II. Minehead District.—All the country along the southern shore of the Bristol Channel, from Devon on the west to the mouth of the P arret on the east. A narrow tract, averaging six miles in width, very hilly, except in the extreme east. It is watered by a number of small streams, descending from Exmoor and from the Brendon and Quantock hills. III. Taunton District.—This comprises the country drained by the river Tone and by the small streams which, flowing from the south, empty themselves into the Parret below Langport. BOTANICAL DISTRICTS. iii IV. Ilminster and Yeovil District.—This district is drained by the upper waters of the Parret.
