Nice article. But photo couldn’t have been taken any time in the last 500 years. Croquet didn’t arrive in England (most likely from Ireland) until the middle of the 19th century. I guess the cars pose a similar problem…

No worries! You have got an extra book sale, at least, and we look forward to seeing you when you return to Taunton Brewhouse in November.

Son starts Politics A-level at Richard Huish in September. By which time I confidently expect the golden statue to have been erected.

Sadly you have not included a venue within 50 miles of my manor so will miss this tour. Hope it all goes well 👍🏻
