               EARLY YEOVIL
                  HISTORYYeovil was founded in the 8th century after the Saxons conquered this part of Somerset. The name Yeovil is believed to be a corruption of the Celtic word Gifl, meaning forked river. In time the Saxon village grew into a little town. By the time of the Domesday Book (1086) it was a flourishing community though it would seem tiny to us with a population of not more than 1,000. Yeovil or Givle, as it was then known, had a weekly market. In those days there were very few shops so if you wished to buy or sell anything you had to go to a market. From the early 15th century there were also 2 annual fairs in Yeovil. In the Middle Ages fairs were like markets but were held only once a year for a few days. The Yeovil fairs would attract buyers and sellers from all over Somerset and Dorset. In 1205 Yeovil was given a charter (a document granting the townspeople certain rights). By the early 14th century the merchants of Yeovil had gained the right to elect a portreeve (a man who ran the town day to day). Like all other towns Yeovil suffered from the Black Death in 1348-49. It may have killed half the population. Then in 1349 a riot ocurred in St Johns church when the Bishop of Wells was visiting. For some time there had been arguments between the townspeople and the clergy over the markets and these boiled over into violence. When the bishop was in the church some people attacked the priests who were with him. (In those days spilling blood in a church was a scandalous thing to do!). However Yeovil recovered from these problems. In the early 14th century the first glove makers were mentioned. In the following centuries the glove making industry grew to be Yeovil's most important industry. A church has existed on the site of St Johns in Yeovil since at least the 10th century. It was rebuilt in the years 1380-1400. Its windows let in so much light it was later called the Lantern of the West. In 1477 an almshouse was built with money left by John Woburn in his will. In 1499 Yeovil suffered a severe fire. In those days most buildings were made of wood with thatched roofs and they burned easily so fire was a constant hazard. On the other hand if houses burned they could be easily rebuilt. YEOVIL IN
                  THE
                  16th AND 17th CENTURIES 
               In the mid-16th century a writer called Yeovil fairly well built. It stood pleasantly on its rocky hill. He described the church as fair and well lit. In 1539 Henry VIII dissolved the priory. In the 17th century Yeovil suffered two more severe fires. One was in 1620 and one in 1643. Like all towns Yeovil also suffered from outbreaks of plague. There was a serious outbreak in 1646-47. In the 17th century glove making continued to flourish in Yeovil. There was also a parchment making industry. Yeovil was also an important market town for the surrounding area. The market was especially noted for cheese, hemp and linen thread. In 1685 the Duke of Monmouth led a rebellion against the king in SouthWest England. He was defeated at the battle of Sedgemoor. Afterwards 8 of his supporters were hanged, drawn and quartered in Yeovil.  | 
            
               YEOVIL IN
                  THE
                  18th AND 19th CENTURIES 
               A grammar school opened in Yeovil in 1744. Otherwise there was little change in the town during the 18th century. It continued to be famous for glove making and was a quiet and small market town. In 1801, at the time of the first census, Yeovil had a population of about 2,800. It would seem very small to us but by the standards of the time it was a fair size. Yeovil grew rapidly in the 19th century and by 1900 it had a population of 11,000. In 1830 a body of men called the Town Commissioners was formed in Yeovil. They were responsible for paving, cleaning and lighting the streets. In the 18th century the streets of Yeovil were lit by oil lamps but after 1834 they were lit by gas. In 1831 there was a riot in Yeovil when parliament refused to pass the Great Reform Act, which would have reformed elections. The riot only ended when troops were called out. Meanwhile the glove industry prospered. In the 1830s it was said that 3 million pairs were made each year in Yeovil. In 1848 the Town Commissioners demolished the old Market House (where indoor markets were held) and the Shambles (where butchers had their shops or stalls). In 1849 they built a new town hall. Furthermore the railway reached Yeovil in 1853. In 1856 Yeovil was made a borough and gained a mayor. Several new churches were built in the 19th century. Holy Trinity was built in 1846. A Roman Catholic Church was built in 1899. A hospital was built in Yeovil in 1872. A piped water supply was installed in Yeovil in the 1870s. Also during the late 19th century sewers were built. In 1888 a cheese and butter marketing company came to the town. In 1901 it adopted the name St Ivel. The St Ivel factory closed in 1976. In 1882 Petters oil engines began production in Yeovil. During World War I they began to manufacture planes on the Westlands site. YEOVIL IN THE 20th CENTURY By 1901 the population of Yeovil was about 11,000. New municipal buildings were built in 1926. The town hall burned down in 1935. During World War II Yeovil was a target for German bombing because of its aircraft industry. As a result of bombing 49 people were killed. Many of the towns houses were damaged or destroyed. Reckleford fire station was built in 1962. Yeovil College opened in 1963. The Museum of South Somerset opened in 1965. Maltravers House was built in 1969 (the Maltravers family were lords of the manor of Yeovil in the Middle Ages). Summerland hospital opened in 1973. Yeovil borough was replaced by Yeovil District Council in 1974. The Octagon theatre opened in 1974. The Quedam Centre was built in 1988. Today the traditional industry of glove making has disappeared from Yeovil but it has been replaced by new industries like light engineering. Today the population of Yeovil is 41,000. Yeovil is a rapidly growing town.  | 
          
               THE YEOVIL CRESTThe gold
                    background is taken from the arms of the Somerset
                    County Council and
                    the 'pall' or Y- shapad figure, suggests the initial
                    of the name and
                    also the junction of two Roman roads, one of them
                    the Fosse Way, near
                    Ilchester. The white wavy 'pall' alludes to the
                    River Yeo or Ivel,
                    which gives its name to Ilchester and Yeovil, and
                    means 'the forked
                    river' as in the Welsh 'yr eifl' (the forks). The
                    purple colour recalls
                    Imperial Rome and the many Roman associations of the
                    district. The
                    green 'chief' refers to the pastoral character of
                    the District and the
                    crown of wheat-ears and acorns is one specially
                    devised for Rural
                    District Councils. The white gloves refer to the
                    distinctive local
                    industry. 
            The eagle is, again, a reference to Roman history and has its wings inverted as on the Roman standards. It also refers to the Fleet Air Arm station at Yeovilton and to the Monteagle family of Martock, for whose arms eagles were the supporters. The star and crescent on its breast are derived from the ancient borough seal of Ilchester, which no doubt bore them in reference to King John, to whom the device is attributed as a badge. Three of the four red roses come from the arms of the Phelips family of Montacute; the other is from those of Cardinal Wolsey, whose first living was that of Limington. The gold bezants on the eagle's wings refer to the connection of the district with the Duchy of Cornwall.  |

                    of "hanging" Judge
                    Jeffries.  Although
                    my
                    rebellion
                    was a disaster for many it will always be
                    remembered amongst West Country people as a reason
                    for some pride.
                    Pride that when liberty was threatened the West
                    County at least was
                    prepared to fight against all odds for what they
                    believed in. TThe Taunton Assize
                    took place in the
                    Great Hall of Taunton Castle (now the home of the
                    Somerset County
                    Museum). Of more than 500 prisoners brought before
                    the court on the
                    18th/19th September, 144 were hanged and their
                    remains displayed around
                    the county for all to see and know what happened to
                    those who rebelled
                    against the king. The 284 who were transported were
                    treated worse than
                    slaves as, unlike slaves who had to be bought and
                    paid for, they cost
                    nothing and were therefore expendable. This may seem
                    a cruel and bloody
                    period in our history, but even into the 1800's
                    people were still being
                    imprisoned, executed, and transported for rioting
                    and rebellion.  
              The relatives of the schoolgirls, the Maids of Taunton, who had presented me with a banner, had to pay a heavy ransom to have them set free.* *One of the more interesting twists in the historical record revolves around William Penn, Jr.’s ( Son of the founder of Pennsylvania) activities in the aftermath of the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685. T.B. Macaulay, an English historian and Whig politician writing in the mid-1800s, caused a great stir among Quakers and other Penn admirers when he claimed in his History of England that William Penn took a bribe in return for arranging for the release of the “Maids of Taunton” Macaulay’s accusation was based on a letter found in an obscure archive:

                      of Taunton” moment in history deserves further

               Now in its eighth year, the Yeovil Literary
                  Prize has
                  evolved into a
                  highly successful international writing competition.
                  There are two ways
                  to enter; by using the postal system, or the now well
                  established
                  option to enter online; its ease of use has encouraged
                  a significant
                  increase in entries. We look forward to even more this
                  year when this
                  writing contest opens on 1st January 2011. Competition
                  is extremely
                  keen and, as always, writers of every calibre and
                  covering all genres
                  are welcome to enter. The Novel category in particular
                  is very popular
                  as novelists are not often catered for. It allows
                  writers to
                  demonstrate their wealth of talent and commitment to
                  the craft of
                  fiction that writing a novel entails. The Betty
                  Bolingbroke-Kent Award
                  for novels provides a rare opportunity for aspiring
                  novelists.  
              The standard and number of entries for the Short Story and Poetry competitions also continues to impress. If anything, we found last year that the standard had been raised, revealing a plethora of subjects beautifully written. We give respect to all our authors and thoroughly enjoy reading their work. The judging teams commissioned by the Yeovil Literary Prize consist of professional, experienced and successful writers whose comments reflect the worth and potential of the leading entries. ■ This year we are thrilled to have Daisy Goodwin as our judge for the poetry category. Daisy is a highly respected poet and TV programme Producer. ■ Always with an eye on the world of publishing, we have Mark Lucas, Literary Agent from LAW, as our judge for the short stories. ■ Our novel category has Katharine McMahon, renowned author of Rose of Sebastopol and The Crimson Rooms as its judge. The Yeovil Literary Prize was originally established to, and continues to, stimulate interest in all literary pursuits, as it fundraises for the Yeovil Community Arts Association. It is now able to provide real support by way of sponsorship to the creative arts in the South Somerset area. The Yeovil Community Arts Association is a Registered Charity (no. 299372).  Save

              A Winsham author reveals some lesser
                known Somerset
                literary connections in a new book - including the
                address in Yeovil
                once occupied by Thomas Hardy. Among
                the sites identified in Literary Somerset, by James
                Crowden, is 7 Peter
                Street in Yeovil, where the newly married Thomas and
                Emma Hardy lived
                for several months in 1876. More commonly associated
                with Dorset and in
                particular, Dorchester, Hardy's residence in Yeovil was
                not widely
                known until recently. Mr Crowden said: "I discovered the
                address
                through a recent biography of Hardy by Claire Tomalin
                which mentions
                it. I went there and discovered it is a glorified
                Primark car park. It
                was probably quite a grand street in its day, there are
                still a few
                flats left at one end. "We don't know exactly why Hardy
                moved to
                Yeovil. His mum was brought up in a village nearby and
                Yeovil was the
                nearest market town."He
                was told about Yeovil by his mother. There was a story
                of a girl who
                was caught stealing books from a stall and was paraded
                around the
                town."Hardy
                had just spent his honeymoon in Swanage and was looking
                for his own
                house. He had come down from London and had very little
                at the time - a
                bookcase and a doorstop." Peter Street is now
                extensively
                redeveloped with a public car park, several businesses
                and the staff
                car park and rear access for Middle Street shops
                including Primark and
                Millets. Literary Somerset was launched last month in Bruton, which itself has a connection with Nobel prize-winning American author John Steinbeck. He rented a cottage near the town while researching Arthurian legend, something he had been interested in since childhood. Mr Crowden's book mentions more than 350 writers, from Ilchester-born Roger Bacon, who was an early scientific pioneer, through to modern science fiction writers Arthur C Clarke and Terry Pratchett. Part of the book was researched at Yeovil reference library in the early part of last year, while Mr Crowden was making regular visits to a relative in Yeovil hospital.He said: "The library has a very good reference section. There is more to Yeovil than meets the eye." Part of his research involved spending a day in East Coker, burial place of one of the most famous 20th Century poets, TS Eliot. For the book, Mr Crowden researched Eliot's famous poem named after the village and uncovered a new meaning to the enigmatic verse, which may refer to Eliot's Somerset ancestors, or another former resident of the village, William Dampier. "There is a lot of the unusual, and quirky references in the book as well as what is well known," Mr Crowden said.

                          owner planted many of the
                          plants still growing in the grounds. There are
                          plenty of estate walks

                          Elizabethan
                          house was built for Sir Edward Phelips, who
                          was
                          Speaker of the House of Commons. It retains
                          many Elizabethan features,
                          including decorative panelling and
                          plasterwork, heraldic glass and a
                          magnificent long gallery. It is now owned by
                          the National Trust and
                          used as an outpost by the National Portrait
                          Gallery. The gardens were
                          laid out at the same time as the house and
                          feature two charming
                          Elizabethan pavilions, a Victorian orangery

                      a
                      surprise to find in an old-world village this
                      museum of modern
                      media. It sprang from the keepsakes hoarded by
                      Dennis Greenham who has
                      been in the electrical business since 1930. Today
                      it boasts a huge
                      collection of radio and TV memorabilia, including
                      toys, books and
                      games. Radios on show range from vintage
                      wirelesses of the 1920s to the
                      novelty transistors of today. There are also
                      tearooms, gardens and a

                      HOUSE The National
                  Trust
                  acquired this beautiful medieval house in 1971, and
                  since that time it
                  has been restored to its former glory. The property
                  was completed in
                  1293, and features a great hall, which is probably the
                  most impressive
                  part of the house. There are several wall paintings on
                  the site, and
                  pieces of architecture that are thought to be even
                  earlier than
                  medieval.

                      OCTAGON THEATRE The Octagon
                    was built in 1974
                    and opened as a multi purpose hall (The Johnson
                    Hall). Within the first
                    few years it became apparent that the venue was both
                    more suitable and
                    successful at staging performances than any of the
                    other activities
                    (ballroom dances, exhibitions, etc.) for which it
                    was intended.From the
                    outset the Johnson
                    Hall became home to Yeovil Amateur Operatic Society
                    who have regularly
                    presented two musical productions each year. Another
                    early user who has
                    maintained their relationship with The Octagon up to
                    the present day is
                    the Yeovil Temple Salvation Army whose annual
                    Christmas Carol services
                    become ever more popular. In 2003 the
                    Octagon was
                    refurbished and extended. A new rehearsal studio was
                    created on the
                    ground floor, whilst on the first floor space was
                    added to the bar and
                    cafe areas.The auditorium was re-seated and even the
                    structure on which
                    the seating stands was replaced. Creating large new
                    storage areas and
                    ensuring greater comfort for theatregoers.

                        FOOTBALL CLUB - The
                        Glovers League Division 1 Looking
                    back
                    at Yeovil's past is like delving into the annals of
                    FA Cup
                    giant-killing.When
                    the cult football game 'subbuteo' launched their
                    one-and-only
                    non-league team,
                    it was Yeovil they chose.Certainly the magnificent
                    Huish Park Stadium,
                    opened
                    ten years ago, is a far cry from the club's
                    beginning back in
                    1895.Formed
                    as the Yeovil Casuals, it was another twenty-five
                    years before a merger
                    took
                    place with Petters United and the 'new'club moved to
                    Huish.Season
                    2002/2003
                    has seen the club finally achieve it's ambitions of
                    League football
                    when they
                    swept to the Conference Championship by a record 17
                    points.Season
                    2004-2005 
                    The Glovers were crowned Champions for the second

               SHERBORNE 
            The town was named scir burne by the Saxon inhabitants, a name meaning "clear stream" (see: Bourne (placename)).The town was made the capital of Wessex, one of the seven Saxon kingdoms of England, and King Alfred's elder brothers King Ethelbert and King Ethelbald are buried in the abbey. In 705 the diocese was split between Sherborne and Winchester, and King Ine founded an Abbey for St Aldhelm, the first bishop of Sherborne. The Bishop's seat was moved to Old Sarum in 1075 and the church at Sherborne became a Benedictine Monastery. In the 15th century the church was deliberately burnt down during tensions between the town and the monastery, and was rebuilt between 1425 and 1504, though some of the Norman structure remains. In 1539 the monastery was bought by Sir John Horsey and became a conventional church. Sherborne was for many centuries the centre of a hundred of the same name.In the 12th century Roger de Caen, Bishop of Salisbury and Chancellor of England, built a fortified palace in Sherborne. The palace was destroyed in 1645 by General Fairfax, and the ruins are owned by English Heritage.In 1594 Sir Walter Raleigh built an Elizabethan mansion in the grounds of the old palace, today known as Sherborne Castle.There has been a school in Sherborne since the time of King Alfred, who was educated there. The school was refounded in 1550 as King Edward's public school, using some of the old abbey buildings, though it is now known simply as Sherborne School. The school remains one of the top fee-paying schools in Britain, boasts numerous successful alumni, including Alan Turing, Jeremy Irons, Chris Martin and John le Carré. Until 1992 there were also two Grammar Schools, Foster's School for boys and Lord Digby's School for girls. Now, the tradition of excellence in learning within the town is continued with Sherborne School for Girls (another top fee-paying school), The Gryphon School, a well regarded comprehensive and the Sherborne International College (for children from overseas).Other notable historical buildings in the town include the Almshouses of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, founded in their current form in 1438 and expanded in the Victorian Era in indistinguishable medieval style architecture. The conduit, Hospice of St Julian, and Lord Digby's school, now known as Sherborne House (designed by Benjamin Bastard) are also well preserved old buildings in the town.  |

                    exercise in black and
                    white was once the Sun Inn. It
                    sits right beside the Abbey Gate and forms part of a
                    picturesque
                    cluster of buildings. It was built around 1600, but
                    some of the most
                    attractive details, including the carved foliage
                    elegantly trailing
                    along the top of the facade, date from Victorian and
                    later restoration.
                    The building has been part of Sherborne School since
                    1916.

               THE CONDUIT 
              This intriguing hexagonal building once housed
                washbasins
                for monks. It
                was built by Abbot John Meere in the 16th century within
                the cloister
                of Sherborne Abbey. Medieval monasteries were noted for
                their plumbing.
                Monks had water piped into the monastery by complex
                systems. While most
                such structures were destroyed at the dissolution of the
                monasteries,
                this conduit survived by being moved outside the abbey
                for the benefit
                of local people. Its rarity has made it a Scheduled
                Ancient Monument. |

               HOSPITAL OF
                    SAINTS JOHN THE
                    BAPTIST & JOHN THE EVANGELIST 
              Sherborne has an unusual almshouse. Most medieval
                hospitals or
                almshouses sprang from the charity of the Church. The
                impetus for this
                one came from concerned townspeople. It was incorporated
                by royal
                charter in 1437. The building housed twelve poor men and
                four poor
                women. To keep the sexes separate, the building was
                two-storey. The
                women lived on the top storey which gave onto a gallery
                in the chapel.
                The almshouse still serves its original purpose, though
                there are more
                residents, thanks to a Victorian expansion. |

| SHERBORNE MUSEUM In the heart of
                  Sherborne, tucked inside the Abbey Gate, is this
                  Victorian mock-Tudor building. It was turned into a
                  museum for the town
                  in 1968. Although the museum is small, it manages to
                  hold over 15,000
                  items related to local history, including
                  archaeological finds,
                  archives, costumes and textiles, coins and medals, and
                  objects that
                  shed light on the long history of Sherborne from Roman
                  to modern. The
                  museum is run entirely by volunteers.

                  SCHOOL Few English schools can
                    claim a more
                    impressive history than Sherborne.
                    Edward VI founded it in 1550, but it replaced a
                    monastic school and
                    made use of monastic buildings. On the right of the
                    picture is the
                    former west claustral range that now forms the
                    school library.
                    Sherborne is an independent school and its premises
                    are private, but
                    some of its most historic buildings can be let for
                    functions, including
                    the Jacobean Old School Room.

| We opened our first ASK restaurant back in 1992 with a simple ambition; to offer really good Italian food in a stylish, contemporary setting. We wanted customers to feel that they had been somewhere a bit different, somewhere just a bit special. Nearly twenty years later and our ambition hasn’t changed. Our menu is based on simple, delicious ingredients and offers a full range of pastas, pizzas, meats and salads, all cooked with pride and passion. Alongside delicious food, we want to ensure that our customers always have a great time in ASK and enjoy exceptional service from our team. | ![]()  |

Originally a 16th century coaching inn, it has since been sympathetically restored and refurbished retaining many of its period features. Owners Dave and Lisa McDonald Greves have recently overseen refurbishment of an upstairs function room complete with open fire-place which provides a popular venue for business lunches and meetings as well as private dinner parties. The high walls with its creeping vines is in keeping with the pleasing and quaint courtyard, and along with its smart wooden tables provides the perfect position for alfresco dining during the summer months. The restaurant proffers the very finest of locally produced food sourced from local West Country suppliers and is freshly prepared daily on the premises. Combined with a superb cellar that is stocked with cask ales, European lagers and wines from around the world, Skittles provides the perfect stage for a warm and welcoming country restaurant atmosphere.  |

                      HOUSE 
              The
                  garden was
                  designed by Lutyens for a house designed by James
                  Wyatt in 1790. A
                  scissors plan was used to integrate the axes of the
                  house and the
                  orangery with the garden. It hinges on an enclosed
                  garden with
                  sculptural topiary in yew. Other enclosures contain a
                  rose garden and
                  an open air theatre.

                        design influenced by Gertrude Jekyl - especially

                  Restaurant,

                  'fish pond' glass roof is said to have leaked and was
                  replaced with a
                  solid roof. The seting and design of the restaurant
                  suggest a gateway
                  to the underworld.

               CITY OF BATH
                  BOTANICAL GARDENS 
              One of the most
                  delightful features of the Royal Victoria Park, the
                  Botanical Gardens
                  were formed in 1887 and within their 3.8 hectares (9
                  and a half acres)
                  is one of the finest collections of plants on
                  limestone, certainly in
                  the West Country.  Less than a mile from Bath
                  City Centre in the
                  north
                  west corner of the Park, the gardens boast many choice
                  trees, shrubs, a
                  fine herbaceous border, a rock garden and pool, a
                  scented walk, a
                  collection of old shrub roses, and a replica of a
                  Roman Temple (the
                  City’s exhibit at the British Empire Exhibition held
                  at Wembley in
                  1924). These are just a few of the many attractive and
                  interesting
                  features of the garden. To mark the centenary in 1987
                  the gardens were
                  extended to include the Great Dell, a disused quarry
                  and formally part
                  of the park itself, which already contained a very
                  fine collection of
                  conifers. It has been developed into a woodland
                  garden, and contains
                  ever more plants and features to add to this
                  fascinating and beautiful
                  park.The Temple of Minerva in the Gardens was
                  carefully adapted and
                  extended in 2009 to create an indoor Interpretation
                  Centre for visitors
                  and schools / groups. The Interpretation Centre has a
                  15 minute video
                  explaining the Heritage Lottery Fund restoration of
                  Royal Victoria Park
                  along with other information and occasional
                  exhibitions. The Centre is
                  open during week days only but is available for
                  bookings by schools and
                  groups at other times.

               CROWE HALL GARDEN 
               More
                  remarkable
                  than
                  the house, which is built on one of the seven hills
                  surrounding Bath,
                  are its 10 acres of gardens that date from the 18th
                  century. ''The
                  garden presents a picture of great natural grandeur,’’
                  noted the
                  Journal of Horticulture and Home Farmer as early as
                  1906. ''The
                  construction of descending terraces and huge retaining
                  walls give it an
                  Italian appearance within an English setting.’’ There
                  are also miles of
                  shady walks, grottos that lead from one of 12 terraced
                  levels to
                  another and water features. And there are unexpected
                  small gardens: one
                  is the Hercules Garden, designed in 1995, where the
                  Grecian demigod
                  appears once in his lion skin and once in a mosaic
                  pool; while another
                  is the Teazle Garden, so named in memory of a dog.

created
                      this garden at East Lambrook which has become one
                      of the
                      best known in England. Whilst
                      fairly
                      small it has a feeling of covering more ground
                      than it does. The design is
                      informal with hardly a straight line. Her garden
                      has been restored by
                      new owners and is full of rare plants. Very strong
                      on herbaceous it
                      also contains the best collection of hardy
                      geraniums in the country. There is an excellent nursery selling
                      many unusual
                      plants at very reasonable prices..

               THE
                  GEORGIAN GARDEN 
              A
                    re-created Georgian town garden, designed after
                    archaeological work by
                    the Bath Archaeological Trust. The original garden
                    was made in the
                    1760s. In 1985 it was decided to make better use of
                    the garden and the
                    positions of the flower beds, paths and the trellis
                    were located by
                    excavation by the Bath Archaeological Trust. The
                    garden features the
                    beautiful variegated leaves and double flowers that
                    were particularly
                    popular in the Georgian period and follows the
                    original layout –
                    typically simple and formal. And although the plants
                    that grew in the
                    garden were not recorded, species known to have been
                    used in town
                    gardens of the period have been planted. Staff from
                    the Council’s Parks
                    Department try to keep the garden as authentically
                    18th century as
                    possible. They do not use pesticides and they use an
                    authentic Georgian
                    roller to go over the gravel.The garden is open from
                    9am until dusk.
                    Entry is free to everyone and the garden can be
                    accessed via Gravel
                    Walk in Royal Victoria Park.

                            framework of a Victorian walled

                            garden on a hillside. The
                            planting is good. It is by Penelope
                            Hobhouse, author of Colour In Your
                            Garden, followed by Nori and Sandra Pope,
                            who have also written a book
                            on planting design with colour. The most
                            intensively cared-for part of
                            the garden is within the old walled
                            vegetable garden of Hadspen House.
                            Since it is on a hillside, it looks less
                            like a vegetable garden than
                            other examples of this genre." |

               LADY
                      FARM 
              Lady Farm garden has really been making a
                name
                for itself over recent years. It is a favourite with
                garden
                photographers and has all year interest. The 'prairie'
                and 'steppe'
                style plantings are a real highlight not to be missed
                but there is much
                more.  A shady hosta walk, with birch and
                hydrangeas, leads to a
                lake
                which has been created from a stream. This is surrounded
                by natural
                planting which blend into a wildflower meadow. A stream
                tumbles into a
                deep ravine before resuming to its natural course. Whilst there is much to see the garden is designed to be low maintenance.  |

                      COURT
                      GARDENS 
              The
                  original
                  nineteenth century gardens were created for the
                  workers of Kilver
                  Court. The gardens were restored in the 1960s and
                  opened to the public
                  for the first time in 2008. There is a parterre,
                  millpond and boating
                  lake.  Kilver Court Gardens was first created by
                  Ernest Jardine,
                  MP of
                  East Somerset, in 1880 and established what was known
                  as ‘Jardine’s
                  Park’, using the mill ponds as a boating lake and the
                  surrounding
                  gardens for the workers recreation. Fruit and
                  vegetables were also
                  grown to provide mid-day meals for the workers- a
                  vegetable garden has
                  newly been reinstated!

              Acquired
                    by the National
                    Trust in 1949, this manor house and grounds is
                    located in the depths of
                    rural Somerset. The Tudor great hall and 14th
                    Century chapel are two of
                    the most popular attractions here. The house was
                    once the home of
                    medieval herbalist Henry Lyte and this former owner
                    planted many of the
                    plants still growing in the grounds. There are
                    plenty of estate walks
                    to enjoy the rich architectural and cultural
                    history.A medieval/Tudor
                    manor house once owned by a sixteenth century

                    A gate leads to a

                    There are yew
                    alleys and other compartments. Christopher Hussey
                    described the garden
                    as 'a necklace of garden rooms strung on green
                    corridors'. Sir Henry
                    Lyte, author of the Niewe Herball (1578), lived
                    here. |

               TINTINHULL
HOUSE
                      GARDEN 
              A seventeenth century house with a Arts
                and
                Crafts garden. The Eagle Court is thought to have been
                made in the
                eighteenth century but the other garden compartments
                were made in the
                first two decades of the twentieth century. It has a
                distinct 'Golden
                Afternoon' flavour. Captain and Mrs Reiss bought the
                house in 1933 and
                added the Pool Garden as a memorial to a nephew who was
                shot down over
                a Malta convoy during the Second World War. Penelope
                Hobhouse, author
                of Colour in Your Garden (1984) worked here from 1980 to
                1993 and the
                garden is described by her in Penelope Hobhouse on
                Gardening (1994).
                The standard of the planting design is not now as good
                as in the
                photographs in her book. |

                    visiting Yeovilton,
                    Sherborne. Built in 1735 by local glover and
                    merchant banker John
                    Daniel, the house was known as Hendford House. After
                    he passed away the
                    house was rented out until 1927 when it became The
                    Manor Hotel. A manor
                    it may not be, but it is certainly elegant enough to
                    be one. Its
                    classical facade and porch are of warm, mellow
                    stone, and to its long
                    single wing, also of stone, an enormous
                    conservatory, more like an
                    orangery, has been added to form a sunny and
                    spacious brasserie. It has
                    a cheerful modern bar with scrubbed floorboards and
                    pale beechwood
                    furniture and fittings. Today the hotel is a firm
                    favourite with locals

                  Yeovil, it is ideally suited for travellers or party
                  goers. It is run
                  by Martin and Yvonne Kotecki, Husband and Wife
                  originally
                  from London, they have run pubs all over the south of
                  England. This was
                  their first foray into the tenatned trade, however
                  they have done
                  exceptionally well, keeping a regular crowd coming in
                  without having
                  traditional "locals".Martin takes great pride in his
                  beers and the
                  quality of service, while
                  Yvonne's attention to detail ensure high standards of
                  taste and
                  cleanliness, in a pub with an excellent atmosphere.

               Weddings What better way to turn up to the ceremony than in Derek Trotter's Reliant Van? Your fiancee will be turning up in her vintage Rolls, so why not arrive in a bit of style yourself? We do plenty of weddings throughout the year and the impact is phenominal every time. At a time where everyone is feeling a little nervous, it can act as a great calming measure - and it really adds something to the whole occasion!At a wedding, we will normally drive the groom and best man to the ceremony. This is where the bulk of the photos are taken and the van is often a major attraction here! Once the ceremony is completed, we will drive some guests onto the reception where more photos and sometimes a few fun drives can be done.  |

League Division 1 Looking
                      back
                      at Yeovil's past is like delving into the annals
                      of FA Cup
                      giant-killing.When
                      the cult football game 'subbuteo' launched their
                      one-and-only
                      non-league team,
                      it was Yeovil they chose.Certainly the magnificent
                      Huish Park Stadium,
                      opened
                      ten years ago, is a far cry from the club's
                      beginning back in
                      1895.Formed
                      as the Yeovil Casuals, it was another twenty-five
                      years before a merger
                      took
                      place with Petters United and the 'new'club moved
                      to Huish.Season
                      2002/2003
                      has seen the club finally achieve it's ambitions
                      of League football
                      when they
                      swept to the Conference Championship by a record
                      17 points.Season
                      2004-2005 
                      The Glovers were crowned Champions for the second
                      time in three seasons.

               Yeovil
                          Town Golf Day 
              For
                  those of
                  you of a golfing persuasion, the annual Sherborne Golf
                  Club golf day
                  has been booked for the diary once again. 
            Monday 18th April will be the day you should book off work and bring your clubs, bag and (in some cases), your sombrero to the Dorset venue for what will be a cracking days' entertainment. Full details of the running order will be released shortly when they have been finalised but this year's event offered the chance for Glovers fans to mix with their heroes of today, yesterday and a few years back as well. Stars such as Warren Patmore, Dean Birkby, Rob Cousins and Mickey Spencer mixed with sporting legends Bobby Gould, darts player Bob Anderson and ex-Bristol Rovers player Geoff Twentyman. For present day supporters, there was the chance to pair up with Craig Alcock, Dean Bowditch, Nathan Jones and Terry Skiverton at the April event. You can now download an entry form from the official site, fill it out and send it back into the club to reserve your place at this special event. More details will be available soon but the event proved very popular last year and places will fill up quickly so don't delay, dust off that putter and come on down to Sherborne Golf Club for a ball, or three!!
