I was late to the meeting,
it was good to see you all in full swing without me!
Jenny was reading an
article from the Pulman’s Weekly regarding the father of a baby, I missed the
full details.
Jenny also showed us a coin found in her late
relative’s effects, a 350 AD emperor magnentius after Constantine, to hold
something of that age is amazing.
The main part of the
meeting was taken up with the plans for an entertainment next month in the
church, the Group have been asked to put together some scenes from the village
history.
Some of our group are
looking at the possibility of re printing Alan’s Booklet of walks around the
Village, updating it with some historic additions to three of the walks.
We have the talk with
Martin Howell on Thursday 19th October.
I have been told a steam
train is coming through on the 23rd September about mid-morning.
David brought up the notes
in the Yates file at Honiton Museum giving details of brickmaking at
Colesworthy in 1599 and the “Great Wynd” that caused the damage that required
the bricks, the nearest in time is the Storm of 1596 that affected the Spanish
Armada, if anyone knows of a storm around the time before 1599 we would love to
see the notes on it.
The next meeting will be
in the Nog Inn on 5th October.
