Walters, H B, the Church Bells of Somerset, Part II, Volume 66
Cfje Cfmrcb TBelte of Somerset BY H. B. WALTERS, M.A., F.S.A. IN 1875, now forty-five years ago, the Rev. Canon H. T. Ellacombe of Clyst St. Mary, Devonshire, published a monograph on the Church Bells of Somerset, in continuation of his previous work on those of Devonshire. After a brief intro- duction in which something was said of the inscriptions on the mediaeval bells, and somewhat less of their founders, a list was given of the inscriptions on all (or rather, nearly all) the bells of the Somerset churches, ancient and modern. The indefatigable author had then reached the ripe age of eighty, and the book is a monument of an old man's industry. But for this very reason he was necessarily dependent upon the assistance of correspondents and helpers for all his informa- tion/and although he personally visited every tower but one in Devon (previously to 1867), it is probable that he never actually saw a single bell in Somerset. He tells us in fact, in his preface, how his information was all obtained by diligent posting of letters to incumbents, churchwardens, and even parish clerks. The result of this, however, was that his descriptions of the bells were by no means either as full or as accurate as could have been wished. Many of his correspondents were doubtless inexperienced in reading inscriptions, especially in old lettering, and they were liable to miss ornaments or marks in unusual positions. Thus at Hornblotton and at Lovington mediaeval bells are passed over in silence ;* at other places inscriptions 1. -

The forthcoming South Somerset Local Development Framework (LDF) will be required to allocate new development sites for both housing and employment for the period 2006-2026, with the focus of major growth placed upon Yeovil, thereafter the district’s major towns and rural centres. As part of the process of finding suitable sites for development, a landscape study to assess the capacity of the settlement fringe to accommodate new development in a landscape-sympathetic manner, is commissioned. This will complement other evidence-based work that will contribute to the LDF process. 1.2 PPS 7 commends the approach to the identification of countryside character developed by the Countryside Agency (now Natural England) and suggests that it can assist in accommodating necessary change due to development without sacrifice of local character and distinctiveness. -

Who Gave Their Lives Always it woke him, even in France, In The Great War Until this morning and this snow. 1914-1919 If anything might rouse him now The kind old sun will know. Think how it wakes the seeds— Woke once the clays of a cold star. Are limbs, so dear-achieved, are sides Full-nerved, still warm, too hard to stir? Was it for this the clay grew tall? —O what made fatuous sunbeams toil To break earth’s sleep at all? Wilfred Owen Base of the War Memorial in Buckland St Mary churchyard ‘From Buckland St Mary there went into HM’s forces about seventy men from a population of about 450. Of these sixteen joined voluntarily all the remainder, except those underage at the time attested under Lord Derby’s scheme …1 … On the outbreak of war several ladies of the village took a course of sick nursing and ambulance work and being thus qualified they did most useful work at the V.A.D.2 hospital at Ilminster. The women of the parish were organised by Mesdames Lance and Pott and met weekly for the purpose of making pillowcases and moss bags for splints, several hundred of which, were sent to a collection station.’ (The Western Gazette) 1 See page 7. -

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. -
