I read with interest your article about Winsham in the Western Gazette a couple of weeks ago. The village is of interest to me as my grandfather was parked on your village green on the night of the 1901 census. He was Captain John Hudson of The Church Army and had travelled down from Liverpool in a CA wagon to preach to the folk of Somerset. He met my grandmother in Kingsdon when he parked there during his ministry. She was a school mistress at Kingsdon village school and their romance blossomed. I think your site is really interesting and very enterprising. We often pass the village on our way from Sherborne to Colyton to visit family. Hopefully more local villages will take up the challenge! with kind regards, Shelagh Phillips

Just to say thank you for a great site. My husbands family lived
in Winsham in the mid to late 1800's and I have found records of some of
them in the School records. I think they worked on the manor farms at
Purtington and I am enjoying finding all sorts of bits and pieces on
your site.
Living on the other side of the world in New Zealand having sites like
yours is a real bonus
Sincerely
Diane Wills

Does any one remember the Sunday Roast being taken up
to the bakery to go in the oven around 1950 when the Hallets and
the Faces lived in the cottages next down from the pub
