NAILSEA TANNERY PART 1 n 1985 during the construction of two houses in the IKingshill area of Nailsea the builders chanced upon the remains of the 19th century tannery. That such a business once existed had been established by the late B.J. Greenhill, but its precise location and layout within the grounds of Nailsea House, off Watery lane, had been a matter for conjecture. Now the stones and brick lined pits central to the process of converting animal hides into leather had been exposed by a mechanical digger. Nailsea and District Local History Society History Local and District Nailsea Little documentary evidence for the tannery has so far come to light. Census returns reveal that 8 persons were employed there in 1841; 12 in 1851; 6 in 1861, none in 1871 and only 2 in 1881.

The Military Effectiveness of the West Country Militia at the Time of the Monmouth Rebellion
Cranfield University The Department of Applied Science, Security and Resilience PhD Thesis Academic Years 2007 – 2011 The military effectiveness of the West Country Militia at the time of the Monmouth Rebellion Christopher L Scott Supervisor Professor E. R. Holmes 2011 Cranfield University 2011. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright holder. This work received a bursary from the Department of Applied Science, Security and Resilience of Cranfield University and also received a grant from the Society for Army Historical Research. i ABSTRACT This thesis considers the military effectiveness of the late seventeenth century militia, focusing upon those county forces which took part in the Monmouth Rebellion campaign of 1685. If the militia were effective then there should be evidence of it fulfilling a set of specified criteria for effectiveness. After examining the militia’s historical purpose and context, as well as its relationship with society, these criteria were defined and then used to test evidence assembled from primary sources. Documents containing information and comments upon the nature, operation and performance of the militia were consulted, including records of contemporary official and personal material held both by local and national record offices. The results showed the militia to have been militarily effective, thus lending support to the hypothesis that they were more effective than hitherto supposed. Further research was conducted using information gathered from personal accounts, private papers, letters, financial records, diaries and memoirs held in record offices, libraries and muniment rooms. These also supported the view that the militia was actually an efficient military organisation, according to the period expectations and demands made of it. -
John Taylor's Account of Monmouth's Rebellion
SCYTHES AT SEDGEMOOR, AT WAR, AND AT THE TOWER OF LONDON Impey Antiquaries Journal 99 (2019) SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL APPENDIX SM1 to be read in conjunction with ‘Desperat wepons’: scythes at Sedgemoor, at war and at the Tower of London’ (Impey), published in vol 99 (2019) of the Antiquaries Journal JOHN TAYLOR’S ACCOUNT OF MONMOUTH’S REBELLION AND THE BATTLE OF SEDGEMOOR, 6 JULY 1685 edited by John Childs John Childs, 30 St James’s Road, Ilkley, West Yorkshire, LS29 9PY, UK. Email: [email protected] John Taylor, a mathematics teacher, enrolled as a gentleman volunteer in the newly-created Queen Consort’s Regiment of Horse on 20 June 1685. Five days later, the unit left London to reinforce the Earl of Feversham’s corps which was operating in Somerset against the Duke of Monmouth’s insurrection. Between 1688 and 1689, Taylor recorded his martial experiences in pp 81–97 of ‘Taylor’s History of His Life and Travels’ (National Library of Jamaica, Kingston, MS 105). This is transcribed below, extensively annotated. Although too late to experience action, Taylor spoke to combatants and visited the Sedgemoor battlefield on 6 or 7 July. This previously unnoticed narrative provides additional detail and some new perspectives on, inter alia, the internal organisation of the rival forces; the identification of Anton Buys; the social activities of royal infantry officers on the night of Sedgemoor; the impact of alcoholic intoxication upon the battle; the tactical roles, equipment, and articulation of Monmouth’s scythemen; and the importance of Tangier veterans. 1 SCYTHES AT SEDGEMOOR, AT WAR, AND AT THE TOWER OF LONDON Impey Antiquaries Journal 99 (2019) INTRODUCTION James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth (1649–85), landed at Lyme Regis on 11 June 1685.
