wellington in loom After many years of winning the Portman Cup and gold medals in South West in Bloom, WIB now concentrate their efforts on neighbourhood projects. In recent years we have been invited by South West in Bloom to join Taunton and Minehead in promoting three community projects at Swains Lane Nature Reserve, the Peace Garden, and the Basins Volunteer Group. Wellington in Bloom is also supporting the Monument Appeal with the sale of Greeting cards, available at outlets through the year. With our dedicated team of volunteers, we continue working with other green groups in the maintenance and care of our town. We are always ready to offer a helping hand, pruning tips and gardening advice for those who may not be sure of differences between plants and weeds (usually those growing in wrong places).We work closely with Pre-Schools and Schools focusing on environmental projects and interpreting

nursery rhymes, which they have planned themselves. Swains Lane Nature Reserve, managed by a team of faithful volunteers, welcomes parties of schoolchildren (when circumstances allow) on wildlife hunts and wildflower trails. Depending on the crops in the autumn there could be apple pressing arranged with Transition Town. We provide the floral displays in Lancer Court and maintain the Peace Garden behind the Quaker Meeting House in the High Street. This is a unique haven of peace for all seeking a break from a busy schedule. We thank the Town Council for its support to ensure Wellington is ‘Floral, Friendly, Flourishing and Foodie’ for our residents and visitors, and we raise funds at our stalls at the Spring Fayre and Wellington Boot Championships. We welcome new volunteers who like to do some spade work, grow their own vegetables and plants, or join in planting bulbs on the verges around the town in the autumn. We want to encourage more homeowners to grow plants rather than pave over their front gardens! We also keep a watch on flyposting and pick up litter where needed. Our monthly meetings at St John Fisher parish hall, Mantle Street will resume once lockdown restrictions allow. Chairman: Isabel Ward:

pn and pround Wellington Wellington Park – One of the most enjoyable attractions.

Set on a compact site occupying just 4.5 acres it is within ten minutes easy walking distance from the town centre. The park is open daily from 8.00am to dusk. The park was a gift from the much respected Quaker Fox family to the town. The family were the town’s main employer for many years, providing jobs to over a thousand people in their textile manufacturing, wool and banking companies. Their aim was to provide a permanent recreation ground for the people of the town but on the basis that the park was “under the constant supervision of a resident caretaker and shall not be used as a playground, or as a playing field, for older children and adults.” In 1902 Messrs Robert Veitch & Sons of Exeter began work on laying out the formal gardens to a design by F.W. Meyer, a renowned German landscape gardener. He included in his design a rock garden as part of the pond area which included 80 tons of limestone from Westleigh. The floral bedding was designed to compliment and contrast with the rock garden and curving paths. Rhododendrons as well as Berberries, Savin Junipers and Holly Olives were added. In 1908 Plane trees were planted along the eastern side of the park to replace a line of mature Beech trees which were deemed too large and unsafe. The park has four entrances, The caretaker’s cottage was built in a similar style to that chosen for the entrances. Wellington’s war memorial, a Cornish granite obelisk on a raised plinth, was unveiled in 1921. Situated close to the shelter, it bears the names of those who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars.. It underwent a transformation at a cost of just over £400,000 and was officially reopened in October 2000. The original layout of the park was restored and buildings, including the bandstand and the fountain were re-created. The tree canopy was thinned and the over-mature shrubberies rejuvenated. Park furniture was improved and gravel path surfaces reinstated. A new concealed water supply was installed in the rock garden, and the planting was restored in accordance with Meyer’s plans. The needs of disabled users were taken into account and lower borders now include scented or tactile plants for the enjoyment of visually impaired visitors.

Wellington Basins – In 1803, Thomas Fox built two ponds to supply a water wheel based at Fox Brothers woolen mill at 10p

Tonedale. These ponds were called the basins and were fed by an intricate system of feeder streams, weirs and sluices. Although these ponds no longer serve any water wheel, the basins are a popular spot for anglers and are a pleasant spot for a walk or just to feed the ducks. You can find the basins at the end of Coram Lane by the Wellington Rugby Club.

Wellesley Cinema – See Page 26. Wellington’s Art Deco cinema in Mantle Street is just five minutes walk from the Town Centre. Wellington School Chapel – Wellington is home to the Independent school that bears the town’s name. Founded in the 1840s the school has a range of excellent buildings reflecting the architecture of the last 150 years. The Chapel (1928-31) was designed by C.H.Biddulph-Pinchard and builtby Twyfords of Wellington as a memorial to those masters and pupils killed in the Great War. It is built of irregular bond red brick with stone dressings. The richly decorated interior has carved wooden wall panels with elaborately decorated canopies made of moulded plaster, all painted and gilded, with the panels painted with the names of old boys killed in the First World War.. It is a Grade 2 listed building and can be visited during school holidays on application to the school office. Wellington School is 200 yards from the town centre in South Street. Memorial to Sir John Popham 1531– 1607 The Parish Church contains a magnificent memorial to Sir John Popham Attorney General and Lord Chief Justice to Queen Elizabeth.

Wellington Museum in Fore Street – see Page 28 is a

treasure trove of information about the town and is a must visit for both visitors and residents.

Cothay Manor & Gardens – One of Somerset’s best-kept

secrets is Cothay Manor & Gardens. Cothay is a unique 15th century manor house, sitting in 12 acres of beautiful gardens in a picturesque setting on the outskirts of Wellington. The gardens are open to the public and guided tours of the manor house are available on Sundays. Cothay was used as a venue for the recently filmed “Wolf Hall”. website www.cothaymanor.

The producers are booked in applied from December of the previous year and this was one of the first festivals to fill up and it has had a waiting-list from February. The vast majority of the producers come from within 25miles of Wellington and are primary producers.

e ecc Pow P Member of Parliament for Taunton Deane Takes time to answer questions from the Wellington Town Guide Q. As the Country starts to return to normal do you think Somerset, as a holiday destination, will be at more risk of infection and should we be worried about it? Rebecca. The South West is heavily dependent on tourism and the hospitality industry, with many farms and food producers also reliant on the tourist trade in a range of ways. Whilst Government has put in place unprecedented financial support packages for businesses in this sector, is significantly affected by the pandemic. I am working hard with Government to make the case for the safe, controlled opening of venues and tourist businesses informed by the scientific guidance. Having made sound progress in controlling the pandemic, we do not want a spike in Covid-19 cases so care must be taken. That said, with the correct guidelines and social distancing for these sectors I am confident that people will once again be able to enjoy the wonderful benefits of Somerset. I am pleased to have worked with organisations including the National Trust and Natural ngland, to get some of our outdoor locations opened up, such as the Wellington Monument where fortunately, work is progressing on the restoration. I am also supporting the Heart of the South West Local nterprise Partnership and the launch of their Great South West Prospectus - Securing ur Future - which is building on the strengths of the region which includes its wealth of glorious landscapes and tourism attractions. Q. One major benefit from the lockdown has been the reduction in pollution and the publics’ increased awareness of nature, especially birdsong. How can we learn from this? Rebecca. es, the sound of birdsong has been so loud and clear. I’ve personally been seeing more birds and trying to identify their songs. Many people have commented on how much they have been enjoying watching birds during lockdown. rganisations, like the Somerset Wildlife Trust, have seen a huge increase in traffic to their website with people wanting to learn more about the wildlife in their gardens. ngaging with nature and the outdoors has a proven beneficial impact on our health and well being (a recent study by the Canals and Rivers Trust showed that people who are close to water, for example, are 10% happier!) I am determined that we build on this recent experience, ensuring green spaces are available close to where people live, that we create wildflower borders along our roadsides (I’ve been discussing this with Somerset County Council), bring forward the Government’s tree planting strategy and working with our schools to bring nature into the classroom. Q. Congratulations on your success with the grant for the Wellington Railway Station. What is the next step and how long before it becomes a reality? Rebecca. This is genuinely exiciting. I started my campaign for a rail station in Wellington in the run up to my first election, and joined MP Neil Parish in co-chairing the Devon and Somerset Metro Group when I was elected in 2015. Through a determined effort and the involvement of a range of stakeholders, bit by bit we have progressed with the bid for a station in Wellington and one down the line at Cullompton. The project took a big step forward recently when the Department for Transport announced that our project was one of 10 going forward to the next round of the ‘Stations Renewal Fund’. This is really exciting progress. Now additional work is necessary to specify the details of the work, the funding required, and promoters will be asked to work with the Department. The Rail Minister’s team will work with officials from Somerset West and Taunton and Mid-Devon District Council’s in the coming weeks to agree potential research remits and appropriate joint governance and timescales and I shall be pushing the project in Westminster working closely with the Rail Minister. Q. What further improvements would you like to see for public transport in the area? Rebecca. The upgrade of Taunton Rail Station is progressing with the new multi storey car park underway and this has been informed by views of the local stakeholder engagement, I undertook and fed into GWR with the focus being to ensure it fits into the style of the garden town. Providing adequate electric charging points both here and across the constituency will be important as more electric vehicles come on stream and I’ve been working on some of these initiatives. I am also working with Somerset County Council to develop our cycling network. Q. Having mentioned cycling. Do you believe it is possible to make early improvements with cycle lanes? Rebecca. Far more people will be cycling and walking thanks to plans to boost greener and active transport, which was announced recently by Transport Secretary, Grant Shapps. The Government has recently announced that as part of a £2 billion investment package, a £250 million emergency fund will create pop-up bike lanes with protected space for cycling, wider pavements, safer junctions and cycle and bus-only corridors within weeks an I am waiting to see if some of this funding comes to Taunton Deane. Like many across the constituency, I have been cycling much more than usual in this lockdown period and have been going much further than usual to do my shopping and get exercise. It is great for fitness, enjoyable and functional. It has really highlighted the need for improved cycleways in many areas and getting cars off the road improves air quality. Taunton would benefit from linking up the existing cycle network and I’ve met (at a social distance) with the Taunton Area Cycle Campaign to discuss this and am supporting Somerset County Council

Wellington Town Guide 2020 - 2021


in their application for the emergency fund. I am meeting the Cycle Minister (virtually) to discuss this and seek greater investment Q. Town Centres have been struggling for years and have not been helped with the lockdown. How can we help regenerate our town centres? Rebecca. Taunton was awarded Garden Town status in recognition of the ambitious growth plans for the town, and as Somerset’s largest settlement, the town offers a wide range of retail, leisure and other services for an extensive rural hinterland. However, changing shopping habits have led to declining footfall figures and an increasing number of vacant units. Unfortunately, the anticipated economic repercussions of Covid-19 will only exacerbate these trends for the town. The Future High Street Fund offers a unique opportunity for Government investment to assist with delivering transformational plans for the town. This will ensure longstanding vacant brownfield sites deliver new homes; it will also expand the leisure offer and provide an attractive riverside development to bring more visitors into the town. This much-needed investment aligns with both the Government’s ‘levelling up’ agenda, given the significant number of remote rural communities that depend on the services and employment in Taunton and Wellington; as well as contributing towards addressing the local housing shortage. The investment sought is also key to delivering the ambitious Garden Town vision. I fully support these ambitious growth proposals and the Future High Street Fund investment sought for Taunton, the county town of Somerset. Q. As we progress slowly with trade talks with the E are you concerned about the impact on West Country farmers for the future? Rebecca. I want to see a vibrant and resilient farming sector in the UK, and the UK’s newfound status as an independent trading nation could benefit our farming industry. Indeed, new free trade agreements could lead to gains for UK agriculture. For example, analysis by the Department for International Trade shows that an agreement with the US will deliver economic gains for the agri-food sector. I know that in trade negotiations the Government will not compromise on our high environmental protection, animal welfare and food safety standards. During this lockdown period many people have bought food from local outlets, which has highlighted the superb produce on offer and I hope this connection with farmers will be retained in the future. Q. What do you see as your key issues for Taunton Deane over the next year? Rebecca. The greatest challenge will be ensuring our economic recovery from the pandemic and we will need to adapt to some new ways of living and working in the future. As our businesses and public service reopen, they will be under different conditions so we must take this opportunity to embrace the changes that will come and turn them to our advantage. My focus will be; job opportunities; the Wellington Station project, the restoration of the Wellington Monument; having the homes we need; good education for our children; links to green spaces; connectivity and transport links that we require to be happy in Taunton Deane. Q. Somerset Cricket is very important to local people, do you see any chance of it becoming a spectator sport this year or just behind closed doors? Rebecca. I have been a long-standing supporter of the Somerset County Cricket Club and of course my late husband was Chairman and shared his passion for the game with my family and I. I would love to be able to go to a match and other sporting events but only when is safe to do so. The Government has said that behindclosed- doors fixtures could theoretically take place from 1 July and nglish Cricket Board ( CB) are exploring the logistics of hosting international cricket behind closed doors this summer. They have announced that no professional domestic cricket will be played in ngland and Wales at least until 1st August due to the COVID-19 pandemic allowing time for the C to put plans in place. The season remains subject to ongoing advice from Government and health experts and the CB are consulting with all broadcast partners to determine the optimum way to fulfil fixtures both domestically and internationally. The working group is also exploring options where non-televised games can be live streamed for members and supporters. Q. During lockdown Parliament has been meeting by zoom, after restrictions are lifted do you think that this could continue in addition to physical presence to reduce the high levels of travel by our MPs. Rebecca. If you had asked me 3 months ago if I would be working as an MP from my home in Taunton Deane for many weeks on Parliamentary and Ministerial business I would have said it would not be possible. But like many, I have done just that and I think this may lead to changed working models in the future. However, this emphasis on home working has highlighted yet again the importance of reliable and stable connectivity, superfast broadband and good mobile signals and I will continue to raise this with Ministers as a priority.

Standing high on the Blackdown Hills, the Wellington Monument, at 175ft, is the tallest three-sided obelisk in the world.

E y innin The idea to erect a monument to the Duke of Wellington was first proposed in 1815 following the Duke’s victory at the Battle of Waterloo. Following an architectural competition in 1817, Thomas Lee Jnr was appointed to design the monument. He proposed a triangular pillar supported on a plinth and surmounted by a massive cast iron statue of the Duke himself. The whole structure was intended to be 140 feet (43m) high. Bui in k Funds ran out in a matter of months and building work ceased, by which time the pillar was only 45 feet (14m). When construction eventually resumed it continued in fits and starts for a number of years. By this time public interest in the project had waned and as a result the original design was pared down considerably. It was finished in the 1820s with the pillar the proposed height. The cast iron statue was never commissioned however and so in effect the monument became an obelisk rather than a plinth and statue as originally intended. Li nin ik i Lightning strikes in 1846 and possibly again in the early 1850s caused serious structural damage. Charles Giles, a local architect, declared it a public danger. Giles was instructed to prepare a scheme for the repair and completion of the monument. These events coincided with the death of the Duke of Wellington when public interest once again stirred. A n i n Giles came up with something very different from the original plan. He set out to transform the monument from a statue bearing pillar into the tallest obelisk in Britain. However by 1892 the monument had again fallen into disrepair. The top of the plinth was rebuilt and the shaft extended to the height we see today. Thereafter it has been subjected to repeated restoration work of a major nature but its character has remained unchanged.

wellington monument

With the condition of the monument reaching a crucial point, in 2018 the National Trust launched a national fundraising project to ensure it’s repair. The project to repair the monument will cost £3.45m. With funding received from many major donors, the Chancellor and money granted through LIB R funds, Historic ngland, Highways ngland, Wellington Town Council and Viridor Credits. It is also with thanks to the community who have also been very generous with their donations that a total of £2.95m has now been raised which allowed the repair work to start on 1 ctober 2019. The scaffolding requiring 52,000 feet of tubing took 10 weeks to be erected. This has allowed the pyramidion (the triangular apex or top part) of the Monument to be dismantled and stored with measurements of the internal space at the top so that work can begin on the new stones. Furthermore, over 80 of the 135 stones that needed replacing on this lower third of the obelisk have now been fitted. The National Trust are still fundraising towards the remaining £500k, find out more about the appeal here www.nationaltrust.org.uk/wellingtonmonumentappeal. The repair work is being conducted by specialist contractor, Sally Strachey Historic Conservation who have over 30 years’ experience in the repair and conservation of historic fabric and architectural stonework. Managing Director of Sally Strachey Historic Conservation, Jake Motley says: ‘It is a great privilege to have this opportunity to work on such a unique and prestigious monument designed to commemorate the Duke of Wellington’s victory at the Battle of Waterloo. It is a very interesting project in part due to the height of the monument at 53m, but also because of the special nature of the monument’s location in the Blackdown Hills’.

T u n i u i n The National Trust took over management responsibility in 1934. Since that time it has needed careful renovation every 10 to 15 years, an expensive and unsustainable process given its height.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF WELLINGTON – Despite being mentioned in the Domesday Book, and in some earlier documents, Wellington is essentially a modern town. There are few buildings older than the late 18th century. St. John’s parish church is the oldest building in town, parts dating from around 1200. The first prominent inhabitant was Sir John Popham who built a large mansion on what is now the football pitch sometime around 1592. Sir John rose to be Lord Chief Justice of England and took part in the trials of Guy Fawkes and Mary Queen of Scots. His house was destroyed in 1645 during a Civil War incident. Woollen manufacture became an established industry in the late 19th century, over 200 years ago. It started with the Weres and was later developed by the Fox family and by their rivals the Elworthys. Nowadays there is still a remnant of the industry with a much reduced Fox’s producing a high quality clothing fabric from their mill in Milverton Road. Wellington was brought to the attention of the wider world when, in 1809, Arthur Wellesley took the title Viscount Wellington. He was made Duke in 1814 and achieved his famous victory over Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815. Work on Wellington’s most prominent building, the Monument, began in 1817 to commemorate the Duke of Wellington following the Battle of Waterloo but it took over 35 years to build and didn’t reach its current height until 1892. The 1830s were a busy time for the town. In 1833 the Baptist Chapel in South Street and the Town Hall in the town centre were built. In the same year the gas works opened in Mantle Street. Four years later Wellington Academy, the forerunner of Wellington School was founded, and brick-making began at Poole, now the recycling centre. In 1838 the Grand Western Canal reached Wellington, but within 5 years Wellington became part of the railway network when the Bristol & Exeter opened their station. By the first decade of the 20th century the town was reaching its current recognisable shape. Price’s (Relyon) and Gregory’s (Swallowfield) were well established and the Park opened in 1903. The principal leisure facilities appeared later in the century; Wellesley Cinema in 1937, Coram’s Lane Sports Centre in 1973, the Museum in 1983 and finally the Princess Royal Sports Centre, in the current century, in 2002.

Wellington Baptist Church There has been a Baptist Church in Wellington for over 300 years but we are today a vibrant family of God’s people who live, work and share the love of God in the community of Wellington and the surrounding villages. Christians of all traditions and backgrounds are a part of our church family and many have started their spiritual journey here in this church! Our buildings are at the very centre of the town in South Street, opposite Oxfam and Wellington School. We’re bang up to date and our services are regularly broadcast via our Youtube Channel wellingtonchurch.org.uk, and many of our mid-week activities are currently being enjoyed via Zoom on the internet. With a worship style that reflects the best of the new and the best of the old, the bible made real for life today in Sunday and mid-week teaching, and all kinds of groups for children (Children’s Church via Zoom), young people and adults, men and women, we have everything to help you find and grow in faith. Situated in the town centre with ample parking in the South Street car park and disabled access and facilities, anyone visiting Wellington Baptist Church is assured of a warm welcome! You may well have been into our premises for one of the many community organisations that use our Church halls. We run occasional Alpha & CAP Debt advice courses to help you grow in your new Christian life and make sense of the challenges being faced financially, and we are active supporters of the Taunton and Wellington Foodbank, and Wellington Churches Together. We meet every Sunday morning at 10.30 am for a contemporary style of worship and teaching, though twice a month at 9am we hold “The Early Service” - a more traditional styled occasion of worship. We have family services, occasional Youth, Café Services, and Healing services. – many of our times reflect contemporary worship led by our Worship Leader and Team. We have an excellent Children’s Ministry and crèche with fun teaching activities for 0 – 13 years. During the week we cater for all ages and all walks of life with groups women, men, children, youth and special needs.

Lying behind the Friends Meeting House In Wellington High Street is a beautiful tranquil garden. It is the old Quaker burial ground, now no longer used for burials, that was developed as a Peace Garden by the Quakers, much helped by the Wellington in Bloom Committee.

The peaceful atmosphere of this old garden makes a welcome oasis in the centre of our busy town. For more information on the Wellington Society of Friends call Georgina Cardew on 07505840278

Bible Society (Wellington Branch)

In 2019 our branch focussed on raising money for children’s Bibles for Malawi, which is one of the poorest countries in the world. Half the population is under 18 yrs. old, most of them having lost their parents to HIV Aids, and the demand for children’s Bibles far exceeds the supply. £1500 was raised during the year, which will provide free Bibles for 300 children. For over 200 years this branch has supported the work of Bible Society. It has played its part in helping to provide translations of the Bible in an ever increasing number of languages. Around the world there are nearly 7,000

48 30

different languages. The Bible has already been translated, in full or in part, into just over 2,500; only another 4,500 to be done, although 2500 are at present being worked on. People on lower incomes are able to buy their own Bibles, as prices are kept down.Fundraising events for 2020 for Bible Society projects worldwide to be, hopefully: Sat.

Life Central Church Life Central Church is a group of people who have found that following Jesus is pretty much the best thing we ever did. We are not perfect, and so we haven’t got it all sorted, but we have found that when we love God and the people around us, life gets back in perspective. As a charity, our faith and purpose means we actively support action in the community of Wellington and in a number of other countries too. At the time of writing, like you, we have had to adapt and re-think the way we do things, so we have used a lot of live streaming and online tools this year. The next season is unknown, but what we are sure of is that you are always welcome to connect with us… wherever you are! You can find out what is happening at Life Central each week whether we are in ‘lockdown’, or discovering a new kind of normal on our website at: www.lifecentral.org.uk/connect. Email: connect@lifecentral.org.uk or Tel: 01823 665622. We look forward to getting to know you. Steve & Larisa Jenkins.

Millway Evangelical Church

Tucked up an alleyway in North Street, Christians first built a chapel here between 1839 and 1841 with our current building being built in 1862. Our services are traditional in nature usually being accompanied on a piano or organ and we invite a wide variety of visiting speakers to come and share with us through the year. There are a number of services during the week but the best place to start if you’re wanting to know more about the Christian faith is our 4pm service every Sunday. You’d also be welcome to drop in for coffee on first and third Saturdays from 10:00 to 11:30. Our website provides information of other weekly meetings - there is currently a special ladies afternoon group, a prayer and Bible teaching time and a children’s club on the way. Our website or Facebook will also keep you informed of special services as they’re planned, annual events include a musical evening with a local Christian choir and a special ‘garden meeting’ held in our own garden with musical items, a message and a tea. Check us out on Facebook or on our website and feel free to get in touch by email or phone.
