Pitminster 04/02, Broomfield Valley 12/02, Kingston Spinney 15/02, Nailsbourne 16/02, Buncombe 19/02 (Cothleston on the same day was devoid of the plant but that might have more to do with the tears streaming from my eyes as I descended into the icy headwind!). An old West Country rhyme states, “Eat leaks in Lide, and ramsins in May, And all year after physitians May play.” (Lide being a West Country name for March). Frequently you will smell the wild garlic before you see it. Abundant in the places listed above, ransoms form vivid green bunches of colour that are packed densely in clumps. The leaves precede a beautifully delicate star- like flower that sadly heralds the end of the season, but that’s a month or so away. A word of caution, there are similar looking plants that could cause an upset stomach. Basically if you crush the leaves between your fingers the smell of garlic should prevail, if it doesn’t don’t use those leaves. And so to my favourite recipe, wild garlic pesto. Collect a large bunch of ransoms, wash well, dry and chop roughly. In a food blender add a handful of hazelnuts, some grated cheddar, a splash of rape seed oil, the ransoms, salt and pepper and blitz until it reaches a consistency you desire. Either use straight away with pasta, mixing with some of the cooking water, or paste onto a pizza base before baking or paint onto tuna steaks before frying.The mixture will keep for a few days, place in a jar, cover with oil and refrigerate. Use within the next few days. Nick Help our garden birds If you haven’t yet managed to get round to cutting your garden hedges, it is now too late as the main nesting season for most garden birds is March to August. Because of the early warm weather in February, many nesting pairs have been very busy with their home-making duties. The rules covering farmers and contractors should be followed by garden owners too, to give our wildlife maximum opportunity of successfully raising their broods. Sharon Farnham 11 Taunton International Middle School ‘Summer Fayre’ 11th May The Grange, Kingston St Mary from 2.00pm-4.00pm Join us for an afternoon of music, games, art and refreshments Raising money in support of Himalayan Children (helping on the path of life) 01823 703222 [email protected] KINGSTON ROCKS!!!! You may have noticed on your whereabouts over the past few weeks that the village has had a few new residents in the form of painted pebbles. Students at The Grange (Taunton School International Middle School) have been busy decorating pebbles in an array of colours and patterns in an effort to set up a community project within the village. ‘Kingston Rocks’ is an ongoing treasure hunt which involves looking for (or stumbling across) decorated pebbles in and around the village, with the idea that you then hide it somewhere else for someone else to find. The scheme is already proving very popular with local residents and the Facebook page ‘Kingston Rocks’ has had over 200 views in just the few weeks it has been live. People have been posting photos of their finds and stories of their hunts; even the village preschool has been searching for the treasures on their regular outings! With an aim to encourage young (and old) people to be out in the fresh air, this incentive is a bit of fun for everyone. You don’t have to be on social media to enjoy the activity, just take pleasure in finding and re-hiding the rocks. Or perhaps you could even decorate your own rocks to add to the collection. Happy hunting! https://m.facebook.com/kingstonstmaryrocks/ 12 CHEDDON & WEST MONKTON FILM CLUB FRIDAY 12th APRIL Cheddon Fitzpaine Memorial Hall Doors Open – 6.30pm for refreshments Trailer &Short Film – 7.00pm Main Film – 7.20 pm approx.

  • Link-Up November 2019
    Link–Up November 2019 E-Magazine From the editor It seemed only last week that we were enjoying hot sunny days and now are already planning Christmas functions, several of which are advertised in this issue and all for good causes so please support them when you can. Before that of course is November the 5th. I won’t apologise for keeping on about it but please remember, animals are very frightened of fireworks, also little creatures hibernate in piles of garden debris destined to become bonfires so please move the pile or check carefully before setting alight. Some pleas for help in this issue from litter picking to fund raising and administration which hopefully will be answered, but it will be a sad day if the pre-school has to close due to an insufficient number of children, a problem which unfortunately most people are unable to help with. We can look forward this month to nature delighting us with beautiful Autumn colours. It is always a pleasure to walk around the lovely countryside at this time of year. Let’s hope it stays the natural unspoiled, unchanged area for future generations to enjoy.

The parish, as can be seen from the map in the centre Tpages, includes the settlements of Dodhill, Nailsbourne, Fulford, Yarford and Cushuish. As part of the great Manor of Taunton Deane, Kingston was owned by the Bishop of Winchester and was therefore not listed separately in the Domesday Survey of 1087. The Manor was split up in1859. In some old documents the parish is referred to as Kingston-juxta-Taunton to distinguish it from other places of the same name. But, in the late 1940’s, it became officially Kingston St Mary by adding the dedication of the church. Written accounts of Kingston in the past are sparse, but “Collinson’s History of Somerset” gives a picture in 1791 of 740 inhabitants increasing to about 900 by the mid-19th century.

  • Village Newsletter
    Lydeard St Lawrence & Tolland Village Newsletter April 2020 Editorial Well, what an odd month this has been. How quickly our lives have changed in the past couple of weeks and how good to see our villages coming together to help our communities. We have all been inundated with information recently and I know I have been sending out copious emails adding to those you may also be getting from elsewhere. But information is good and I believe it is better to see something twice than not at all. On a positive note, my call for an old second-hand bike, (remember that email from two weeks ago?), had a very positive response and an old bike has been passed on to a new, delighted owner. Below I have included a number of bits of information to do with our current situation together with a couple of non Corona things. Stay safe everyone, keep smiling and most of all if you need anything at all, ask. Liz Message from Revd. Maureen I am here for everyone in our village - whether they go to church or not - and am holding everyone in my prayers and for a good outcome. However, because of my age I am obliged to stay in the house and am very sad that there is no worship happening in our church building. However the church is not about buildings but about people, and in our concern for one another we are showing our love and care and, in a way, being church. We don't need to kneel down and put our hands together and close our eyes to pray.

The reader must remember that the printed volumes are not " evidence " in the legal sense. Certificates must be obtained from the local clergy in charge of the Registers. The Editors have to acknowledge the ready willingness of the Clergy in affording facilities for making the needful transcripts for the printers. Their names are given under the respective parishes. They will gladly welcome the assistance of others who may be willing to aid in transcribing Registers, for it is only by volunteer work that it is possible to print our Parish Registers. They would gladly issue two volumes in each year, and this they can do if those who have the opportunity will supply them with the needful transcriptions of the Registers.
