I welcome you to the new Wellington Town Guide. I was recently elected Mayor of Wellington by my fellow town councillors and I look forward to leading the town council during the coming year and also representing Wellington on your behalf both locally and further afield at civic and public events, raising the profile of the town which is, incidentally, the sixth largest town in Somerset.

I am very pleased to be able to write a few words to introduce the 2019 edition of the Town Guide. This is an excellent publication for both established Wellington residents and for those who have recently moved to the town, giving a wealth of information on groups and services operating in the area. My thanks go to all the advertisers who make the guide feasible. My family and I moved to the Wellington 29 years ago and thoroughly enjoy living in Wellington as we have many local amenities to support and enjoy. We have a wonderful Art Deco cinema which is used constantly throughout the year by our theatrical groups such as the Arts Centre and Operatic Society for their pantomime and musicals. During the year, we have a wide variety of events to suit all tastes some of which are, FREE concerts in our delightful, award Wellington Town Guide 2019 - 2020

winning park, the annual Street Fair, the annual Food Festival and the Carnival. Wellington has an amazing history going back many centuries and details of the town’s past are recorded and displayed in our lovely museum. The museum is staffed by very knowledgeable and helpful volunteers and has some wonderful exhibits charting the town’s famous residents and history. Wellington Town Council has an annual grants budget from which it awards grants to local groups. In addition, we have allocated funding to the group looking at the feasibility of a railway station in Wellington and we have a representative on this group. We have also donated funding to the National Trust towards the cost of restoring the Wellington Monument that dominates our town and the surrounding area from its iconic position on the Blackdown Hills and is used by many organisations in the town, including the Town Council, as an emblem. We all live in a changing world and Wellington and the Town Council is currently responding to change. We have a new housing development at Jurston Farm and a new roundabout is currently under construction on the relief road to enable access to the development. On 1st April the new district council was formed with the merger of Taunton Deane Borough Council and West Somerset District Council which will have an impact on Wellington. To cope with the constantly changing scene the council is looking at how it can respond and manage the change by reviewing staffing and resources and how we operate and deliver

our services, quite a challenge!! Other changes to the Town Council were the retirement of Greg Dyke our Town Clerk after 10 years in post and the recruitment of Kathryn Hemensley, our very able and competent new Town Clerk. Other changes were, in this election year, six new councillors representing the town and I look forward very much to working with them, the existing councillors and Kathryn. At this stage I could not fail mention our dear friend and colleague Bob Bowrah who sadly passed away all too soon in March. Bob was a very hard-working councillor and ex-Mayor of both Wellington and Taunton Deane and we all miss him greatly. The Town Council makes every effort, through a variety of mediums, to be transparent and open and to inform the residents of the town, whatever, their age of events. We do this through our website www. wellingtontowncouncil.co.uk, via our Facebook and Twitter accounts and through the local press. Everyone is also welcome to attend our council meetings where any member of the public can ask questions on any subject. The meetings are held on the first Monday of each month, except Bank Holidays, with the Planning Meetings starting at 6.15 p.m. and the full Council Meetings at 7.00 p.m. in the United Reform Church Hall in Fore Street, so why not come along sometime and see your Council in action? I hope that you enjoy reading and referring to this guide. Very best wishes

Rockwell Green Ward Marcus Barr Tel. 01823 661817 E: marcusbarr@wellingtontowncouncil.co.uk My name is Marcus Barr and I am the Independent Councillor for the Rockwell Green Ward. I have lived in the village for over 20 years and have represented the residents for the past four years on Wellington Town Council. I recently started Rockwell Green Matters, a monthly publication and Facebook page, so that the people of the village had a voice and also some local information. Since I have been on the Council I have reacted to your requests for a defibrillator, new dog-mess bins, gym equipment at Dobree Park playground and the only table-tennis table in Wellington! I passionately care about the community in Rockwell Green and how life there affects every resident. After all, I am one of you too. I want to see it continue to be properly represented and a great place to live.

Chris Booth Tel. 01823 000000 E: chrisbooth@wellingtontowncouncil.co.uk Chris moved to Wellington in 2018 having lived and worked in Taunton most of his life. Chris is passionate about ensuring that Wellington is not forgotten in the the new larger council authority and that its services do not suffer for it. He would like to see more focus given to Wellington in terms of future planning, looking at what could be done to improve the town centre and to make sure that any future development comes with suitable infrastructure. Chris also sits on the district council and is always happy to meet residents about any issues. He is very honoured to be a representative of young people as still in his twenties and believes it is important that young people participate in local politics.

Nick Smith Tel. 01823 974305 E: nicksmith@wellingtontowncouncil.co.uk Nick moved to Rockwell Green with his wife Caz and their family in 2008. Their youngest children have been educated at Rockwell Green Primary and now moving on to Courtfields. He feels that Wellington is a great place to bring up a family especially if you enjoy the great outdoors. We have the Blackdown Hills, the Quantocks and Exmoor on our doorstep and the beaches of Devon and Dorset only an hour’s drive away. The town has some unique shops and one of the finest butchers in the country. Nick used to work in the construction industry before having to leave full time employment to care for his wife. He has been a full time carer for the last ten years, and feels that this experience has made him see life from a different perspective and fully understands the difficulties people with disabilities face in their everyday life. Nick was a founding member of the Taunton based action group SWAG which was set up to combat the sale of “legal highs” Wellington Town Guide 2019 - 2020

after one of his children was injured by a discarded needle left in one of Taunton’s parks. The group worked alongside the police and was featured in the BBC Neighbourhood Blues tv series. In his spare time Nick is a keen angler, a passion that he has passed on to one of his daughters and his grandson. Nick feels it is a great honour to have been elected by the people of Rockwell Green to represent them on the Town Council and hopes to serve them well.

I have worked in the NHS for over 20 years and continue to do so doing IT Support. Music is a big part of my life particularly because I play guitar in a local band called Best Kept Secret. Learning songs, spending time with my fellow band members and performing for others is a very fulfilling pastime. I have been honoured to be elected for a third term as a member of Wellington Town Council. Being involved in the town as a member of the council is rewarding and very interesting. Since first being elected I have learned a great deal about Wellington and the challenges it faces, especially now as part of a larger district Council. All local councillors must now, more than ever, work together to make the voice of Wellington people heard to be sure we get our share of resources spent on Wellington. I am also a member of Somerset County Council which allows me a greater understanding of some of the changes that can impart on Wellington and the surrounding parishes. I work closely with colleagues to again stand up for Wellington. We live in a beautiful part of Somerset and one of the reasons I became a councillor was to help keep it that way. Over the next four years I will be looking to promote a more environmentally conscious council and where possible making it easier for local people to look after our town.

twinning Wellington & District Twinning Association Wellington was first twinned with Lillebonne in Normandy in 1964. Lillebonne was already twinned with Immenstadt in Bavaria, and in 1984 we signed a twinning charter with Immenstadt, so linking the three towns together. The Duke of Wellington has historical links with Torres Vedras in Portugal, dating back to the Peninsula Wars, and we twinned with them in 1998. Twinning promotes friendship, understanding and cultural links between the three towns. Over the years thousands of young people have taken part in exchange visits to our twin towns and learnt something of their history and culture, as well as improving their language skills and having fun. As well as students’ visits, we have regular adult visits to and from all three towns. These are well supported, interesting and enjoyable and many people have formed lasting friendships over the years. Visits include trips to places of interest. From Lillebonne there are outings to places like Etretat, Deauville, Honfleur and Fecamp, or further away, to Rouen and Paris. In Portugal there are trips to places

of historic interest, some lovely old towns, and beautiful beaches. Immenstadt is in a wonderful part of Germany, with some glorious mountain scenery, lakes and rivers as well as towns like Augsburg, Lindau and Kempton. During the year the association has regular social events, which are important because they keep people in contact between visits.

A GRAND AFTERNOON OUT!

Wellington Town Guide 2019 - 2020

In the late 1970’s John Rutter teamed up with the King’s Singers for a very successful version of Kenneth Grahame’s ‘The Reluctant Dragon’, libretto by a David Grant. For a similar Christmastide concert in 1981, the same talents worked together to set and perform another well-known Grahame fable, ‘The Wind in the Willows’. As with the earlier collaboration, the text provides a charming rendering of the tale, with attraction for both children and adults. Rutter presents the fable of the story in a direct and FUN musical guise, with plenty of musical jokes for the parents, as well. The work is set for a narrator, soloists and choral ensemble with the usual felicitous instrumental scoring for which Rutter is justly famous. A children’s afternoon tea is included in the ticket price, and we’d love to see the place packed with parents and children for what promises to be an afternoon of musical fun.

Tickets are on sale, as usual from the Amici website (www.amicichoir.org.uk), via the Taunton Visitor Centre (01823 340470), from Interiors and Flowers By Design (01823 662143) and on the door. Adults £12, children 5-15 £6 and under fives FREE. There will also be a family ticket (2 adults and 2 children 5-15) for £30.

It is becoming an established tradition for Amici to perform their summer concert in Wellington. For the past few years the choir has been warmly welcomed to St. John’s Church in the town, and this year we are once more looking forward to our visit, on Saturday 6th July. The summer concert has also become a vehicle for Amici to branch out into paths less well-trodden by the average chamber choir, if such an animal exists. We have presented programmes of film and stage music, ventured into Gilbert and Sullivan, Shakespearethemed programmes and even an opera gala. This summer sees another exciting first for chamber choir Amici - a Family Concert. With everything from venue and format to timing (3:00 p.m.) and a programme geared to be family-friendly, the choir hopes its new initiative will enable it to engage with and inspire the audiences of tomorrow. Musical Directors Andrew Trewhella and Gareth DayusJones have chosen John Rutter’s witty and charming musical telling of the quintessential children’s story, Kenneth Grahame’s ‘The Wind in the Willows’ as the concert’s centrepiece. Alongside this will be some toe-tapping jazz a cappella numbers, and even a new arrangement for chorus and violin solo of Vaughan Williams’s Hall of Fame Chart-topping ‘The Lark Ascending’. Much like Grahame’s children’s story, this is filled with a melancholy yearning for an idyllic pastoral England.

After many years of winning the Portman Cup and gold medals in South West in Bloom, we now concentrate our efforts on neighbourhood projects. At our annual meeting in February, with newcomers joining our dedicated team of volunteers, we can look forward to 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). Both the Pre-Schools and Schools are entering our competitions again, focusing on environmental projects which they have planned themselves. Judging will be towards the end of the summer term. Swains Lane Nature Reserve was successful in its bid to the Sustainable Development Group of the Blackdown Hills AONB Partnership to go forward with a new management plan for the next 10 years. The reserve welcomes parties of schoolchildren on wildlife hunts and wildflower trails. 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 receive a grant from the Town Council helping us to ensure Wellington is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;floral, friendly, flourishing and foodieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for our residents and visitors. We can give a warm welcome to more 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 carry out litter picks, where needed. We meet monthly at St John Fisher parish hall, Mantle Street.

FRIENDS OF WELLINGTON PARK The “Friends” were established in 2001 at the behest of Taunton

Deane Borough Council who were to receive Lottery funding for the refurbishment of our Edwardian Park. One of the major conditions for the grant was the establishment of an elected group of members of the public who were prepared to oversee and organise events in the park. The “Friends of Wellington Park” were elected with a constitution, committee members and bank account. The public were asked to become members and they have been the backbone of the group since then, supporting events and paying annual subscriptions. There has been an annual May Day Event since the “Friends” were formed, and is a family day when all the charity stalls benefit from the public’s support and the youth groups are seen doing a magnificent job in assisting with the provision of fun for the children. They also organise and present 12 weeks of musical entertainment every Sunday afternoon in the park from June until the end of August. Music starts at 2.30 and finishes at 4.30pm with a short interval. Refreshments are available. There is also a 50/50 stall selling a variety of things. An information tent is available with literature on the summer programme, leaflets on the unusual and historic trees and forms for the public to become members for the cost of £6 single and £10 a household per year. We hope you will willingly help to financially support the work of your elected committee and outstanding volunteers. We also publish two newsletters each year and details on a winter social. We are constantly upgrading our gazebos, (for the public to sit under on chairs and watch and listen to the music), catering equipment etc. However, due to limited space we cannot store the large numbers of chairs required, so if people have fold up chairs and bring them along this can be most helpful. The ”Friends” are particularly proud of their achievement in assisting Taunton Deane Borough Council Parks Department to consistently win the Green Flag and Heritage Award.

G U I D E

In & Around 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. Their offer of the park was made 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. Cement was not used as the colour of it would not have matched the limestone when it was wet. 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, three incorporated in the original layout; the fourth, which provides access close to the bandstand from the recreation field was a later addition. The caretaker’s cottage was built in a similar style to that chosen for the entrances. On the first floor, there was a gracefully curved window that would have allowed the caretaker a comprehensive view of the park. 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. Although much of the park’s original design survived throughout the 20th century, it suffered from general deterioration, lack of maintenance and the loss of some of its features, such as the ornamental fountain. 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, were restored and the fountain was 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. The bandstand remains in its original position, close to the western boundary of the park The original ornamental fountain has been replaced by one of similar design and memorial trees have been planted over the years to mark various events including George V’s coronation day.

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 built by 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. The galleried choir stalls and organ loft over entrance and canopied reredos are similarly decorated. The Chapel has a carved stone altar., carved bench ends and traceried stall fronts. The roof has a series of carved and moulded tie-beams on corbels, supporting a panelled roof with moulded ribs also painted and gilded. 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.

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”. We have regular events – visit our website www.cothaymanor.co.uk or ring us on 01823 672283 for more details.

Wellington Basins – In 1803, Thomas Fox built two

ponds to supply a water wheel based at Fox Brothers woollen mill at 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 – Wellington’s Art Deco Wellesley Cinema, in Mantle Street, just five minutes walk from the Town Centre was built in 1937, in the traditional Art Deco style of that period. The auditorium seats 400 people on two levels and is run as an independent cinema. It has a striking Art Deco interior and is a must see for all visitors to the town.

Wellington Basins Volunteer Group

Wellington Basins are a Country Wildlife Site and provide a habitat for a range of fauna and flora. As well as being used by local schools for environmental studies it is a lovely area for walking and spotting the many species of birds that visit during the year, as well as the five different species of bat that can be seen at dusk during the summer months. The Wellington Basin Volunteer Group was formed in 2002 to improve the basins by clearing the land, repairing fences and seating and keeping in the two large ponds in good order. Fund raising events are held during the year to help with the cost of materials. If you are interested in helping with the work at the Basins, please ring the Chairman Jenifer Vickery 01823 664695 or Secretary Sue Adams 01823 663195 email: buckwell.adams@gmail.com

Whilst our event is fairly modest in comparison with the larger County Circuit (Bridgwater, Glastonbury etc), we still manage to attract three clubs (from Ilminster/Chard) that are fully illuminated and 100ft in length, and provide a marvelous spectacle. The event normally attracts around 70 entries ranging from the 100ft ﬂoats, to individual walking groups, schools and majorette troupes. We particularly welcome any youth group to take part as it is our hope to get the children involved in carnival for its longevity. An on line entry form has just been launched enabling any group to apply to enter any of the carnivals on the South Somerset Circuit. Entering carnival is free (apart from trade entries), and prize money is offered for winning entries subject to independent judging.Whilst this is massive event for the town, it relies on a loyal band of volunteers to organise the event, as well as helping other towns when their carnival takes place. Wellington Carnival are proud to have been able to donate tens of thousands of pounds to local groups and charities; all funds donated are a result of these local groups and charities help us collect, or sell novelty toys. Wellington Carnival would like to take this opportunity to thank all local businesses, and our own town council for their continued support of the event.

WELLINGTON CARNIVAL 2019 IS DURING THE EVENING OF SATURDAY 28TH SEPTEMBER 2019

Wellington Monument The Wellington Monument is a 175-foot-high (53 m) triangular obelisk located on a point of the Blackdown Hills, 3 km (1.9 miles) south of Wellington in the English county of Somerset. It is a grade II* listed building. The monument was designed to commemorate the Duke of Wellington’s victory at the Battle of Waterloo. Construction of the original design commenced in 1817; a revised and cheaper design was eventually used, though, and building was completed in 1854. It is now owned by the National Trust, who closed the monument to the public in 2007, owing to safety concerns. Surveys have shown that extensive renovation work will be needed to reopen the internal staircase to the viewing platform. The monument was erected to celebrate Arthur Wellesley, the First Duke of Wellington’s victory at the Battle of Waterloo. Following his victory at the Battle of Talavera Wellesley was ennobled. As he was abroad his brother chose the name of the Somerset town, because of its similarity to the family name, although Wellesley had never visited it. Parliament awarded him £100,000, and with this he bought two manors in the town, including the land the monument now stands on. The monument was proposed in 1815 by William Sanford of Nynehead Court, and he started a public subscription to pay for it. Within months £1450 had been raised and a design competition was held. The winning entry envisaged a 95 feet (29 m) pillar with three cottages at the base to house old soldiers as caretakers. It was designed by Thomas lee and the foundation stone was laid by lord Somerville in 1817. By 1818 the column was 47 feet (14 m) high but all funds had been spent. Another appeal raised further funds, and the column was raised to 121 feet (37 m) by 1820. It was damaged in 1846 when it was struck by lightning. Construction restarted after the Duke’s death, and was completed in 1854 by Henry Goodridge, The monument’s design was inspired by an Egyptian obelisk, although shaped like the type of bayonet used by Wellington’s armies this could be coincidental as it was possibly on economic grounds as an obelisk is cheaper to build. The initial designs envisaged a cast iron statue of the Duke on the top of the column with more statues on the plinth, but these were never built. The upper section of the column was restored in 1890 when the pinnacle was raised by 1.5 metres (4.9 ft). The original plans were for twenty four cannons, captured from the French army at the Battle of Waterloo, to be installed around the base. In 1818 one brass and 15 iron cannons were transported from the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich to Exeter Quay, but they were never transported to the monument. After years of storage at Exeter ten were sunk into the ground as bollards, and the brass gun sold in 1837 for £64 to cover the storage costs incurred by the local corporation. In 1890, when four guns were requested for the monument as part of a restoration project, they were found to be naval cannons cast in Scotland dating from 1789, and never used at the Battle of Waterloo. Four cannons were eventually installed in 1910, surrounding the monument, but these were removed during the Second World War (1939–1945) for scrap metal to help the war effort. The need for scrap metal fell and they were eventually buried at Watchet. The one cannon remaining at Exeter was brought to the monument in 1977 by local Rotarians and finally installed in 1984. The monument is built of local stone, Calcareous Grit, a Sandstone from Northay. The triangular column is 80 feet (24 m) wide at the base and 53.34 metres (175.0 ft) high. The base has an Egyptian winged panel above the studded iron door and is surmounted by a coved dentil cornice. A counterweight hangs inside the top of the monument to help balance it in windy weather. An internal staircase ascends to a viewing platform, which has three circular windows, one on each face. RENOVATION APPEAL UPDATE–Ourplanstorepairthemonumentareprogressingwell.Weneedtoraise£3.8milliontocompletetherenovationproject. We have secured £2.8 million. Surveys and tests on the structure - the tallest three-sided obelisk in the world and Grade 2* listed - show that a range of factors are responsible for its deterioration including different building phases, failed past repairs and the exposed position. We have written a detailed specification of the repair work that needs to be done and are undertaking a two-stage tender process to select a suitable contractor and get best value for money. This process will end in June 2019. We plan for scaffolding to be erected in Autumn 2019, which will enable repairs to begin in Spring 2020 following the harsh winter weather. Work is likely to last through most of 2021. Our vision is that when the work has been completed, the Monument will be opened to visitors again. If you would like any information about the project please telephone Emma Jones on 07779 454246 or you can contact her by email at emma.jones1@nationaltrust.org.uk.

WELLINGTON MEDICAL CENTRE - PATIENT PARTICIPATON

GROUP LAUNCH OF THE WELLY HOPPER

The Welly Hopper, a volunteer car service run by patients to help their fellow patients get to and from appointments at the Wellington Medical Centre commenced on 17 June. The Welly Hopper was the idea of Mrs Erica Adams, who is Chairman of the Patient Participation Group at the Wellington Medical Centre, after she heard of the difficulties that one lady had in travelling a relatively short distance to get to her appointment. “The centre has more than 15,000 registered patients, a fair number of these are over the age of 60 and a number of them also have mobility problems. Many do not have their own transport and buses, sadly, are either nonexistent or not convenient,” said Mrs Adams. Now these patients will be able to ring the special Welly Hopper telephone numbers and request a lift to and from the Centre. Volunteer Transport Co-ordinators, Beryl, Lynn and Gerald, will be available to help. The scheme will start slowly with the Co-ordinators available every Tuesday – telephone number 07412399012 and Thursday telephone number 07305617047. Volunteer drivers have been recruited who will use their own cars to get patients to the surgery in time for their appointments and then drive them home afterwards.

Drivers will get 45 pence a mile to go towards the cost of their journeys. Patients will pay 50 pence a mile to be taken to the Centre and home again and 5 pence from this will go towards the cost of running the Scheme. There is a minimum charge of £1.50. Patients living in Somerset who hold a current concessionary Somerset County Council Bus Pass will receive a 50% reduction. The scheme has been launched with funding from Wellington Town Council, the Somerset Community Foundation, the Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group and funds raised by WMC patients and friends at a dinner dance held last Autumn. Great support in setting up the scheme has been received from Somerset County Council Highways and Transport Commissioning Manager, SCCG, the West Somerset Car Scheme Partnership and the Otter Wheels Scheme near Bridgwater. “The success of this Scheme obviously depends on the dedicated volunteers who operate it. So we would be pleased to hear from anyone who could spare a few hours a week to help the community by driving patients to and from the Wellington Medical Centre or acting as another co-ordinator handling the requests from patients, ” For further information please contact Mrs Erica Adams on Tel. 01823669022 M. 077179425561 E: erica.adams131@btinternet.com 43

John popham 1531 - 1607 John Popham was born in Huntworth, near Bridgwater, but on his marriage his father gave him The Old Court, in Mantle Street, so from about 1555 he lived in Wellington. He became a busy London-based lawyer, but his children and many of his grandchildren grew up in Wellington, so it is fair to claim Sir John as one of Wellington’s own. After studying at Balliol College, Oxford, he read Law at the Middle Temple. After various youthful indiscretions it is said that his wife made him knuckle down to work, whereby he “profited exceedingly”. He became the outstanding lawyer of his generation, and in turn Recorder and MP for Bristol, Attorney General, and for many years Lord Chief Justice. He was renowned for the severity of his judgements, but also for his deep learning in the law. He was personally devoted to Queen Elizabeth, and was responsible for drafting and, through parliament and the Queen, implementing, the laws of England for thirty years. During his time anti-Catholic feeling ran high and the laws reflected this. Popham harried Catholics, and in particular was responsible for the trials and condemnation of the Catholic Jesuits Robert Southwell and Richard Garnett. He was Attorney General in 1587, and present at the trial and execution of Mary Queen of Scots, but later was the prime mover in the trials of Sir Walter Ralegh, and in 1605, the Gunpowder Plot conspirators. In Wellington he built a mansion, which was burned down in the Civil War, on the site of the present town playing field, and almshouses, the successors of which, built in 1932, stand in Victoria Street. Given Popham’s treatment of Catholics, it is an irony that the stones of his original almshouses now form the Roman Catholic church, in Mantle Street. His impressive memorial stands in the North-East corner of St John’s Parish Church. Local legend has it that Sir John died on June 10th 1607 when he was thrown from his horse into Wilscombe Bottom, on the scarp of the Blackdown Hills. Horse and rider were swallowed up, and Sir John’s spirit is supposed to emerge once a year from what is now called Popham’s Pit to take a cock’s stride towards rejoining his wife in their memorial monument. After 400 years he still has some way to go! As described by Collinson (died 1793) in 1791 it was situated in the south aisle chapel, from which it has been moved to its present position, but retaining the same orientation.

is an extract from John Collinson “History and Antiquities of the County of Somerset 1791”. “In the chapel on the south side of the church is a magnificent tomb, surrounded with a pallisado of wood and iron, on the table of which lie the effigies of Sir John Popham, and that of his lady. He is dressed in his judges robes, chain, and small square black cap; and placed with his head towards the west. On the lower basement, at the head and feet, are four other smaller figures of two men and two women, kneeling face to face. On the north side of the same basement are five boys and eight girls, dressed in black, kneeling in a row. And on the south side are nine women kneeling in the fame manner. Over Sir John and his lady is a superb arched canopy, ornamented with the family arms, roses, paintings, and obelisks; the whole supported by eight round columns of black marble, five feet high, with Corinthian capitals green and gilt”. The two male and female couples kneeling opposite each other separated by a prie-dieu, shown at each end of the monument, are believed to represent his 34-year-old son Sir Francis Popham and the latter’s wife (east-end) and his parents, represented as a middle-aged couple (west-end). The nine female kneeling figures on the south side, all facing westward, are believed to represent Sir John Popham’s six daughters with three ladies maids, the latter three figures kneeling behind the daughters and wearing plain not lace ruffs. The kneeling figures on the north side are believed to represent the five sons (facing westwards) and eight daughters (facing eastwards) of Sir Francis Popham, the son of Sir John Popham. Inscribed on a stone tablet on the west side of the entablature is the following text: Sr John Popham Knighte and Lord Chief Justice of England and of the Honorable Privie Councell to Queene Elizabeth and after to King James, aged 76, died the 10th of June, 1607 and is here interred.

An ongoing project to catalogue the collection and to make it more accessible for casual and academic researchers means that there is now much more to the items on displays. Each year changes are made to the displays using pictures and artefacts from our reserve collection – items that are not usually seen by the public.

Local History Society – The Society, a registered charity, seeks to promote Wellington via its history to the town’s residents and visitors. To this end it organises a series of talks and walks throughout the year. The Society also runs Wellington Museum. You can learn more about, and contribute

The Museum – The Museum at “The Squirrel” in Fore

St., has displays illustrating Wellington’s history – themes include the town’s industry, trade, social life and famous people . The model of the Wellesley cinema always attracts attention as does the 17th century money chest that was once used by Fox Brothers, woollen manufacturers. There is a reference library of more than 100 local history books and documents, a cabinet of documents and pictures on local topics and an oral history cd collection in which workers tell of life in local industries.

Entry to the museum is free

Visitors to the museum will also find a range of Wellington souvenirs, leaflets and books on local topics for sale.

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.

Some teams are always on the look out for new players and if anyone is interested then they can contact the league either through our website contacts page https://wessl.leaguerepublic.com/l/contacts.html or by contacting the Chairman David Bright on 07843014138 davidbright12759@gmail.com and we will endeavour to put you in touch with a team. If you fancy entering a team we have four vacancies on a Thursday night; again just contact the aforementioned for details, the minimum requirements are that teams are to be composed of eight male players of which two can be under 18 years old but over 15 years old. (Where venue rules permit).

Wellington waste services 2019-20 Every Wellington home has access to waste services, with regular household collections and the town’s recycle site. Most homes receive weekly food waste and recycle pick-ups, fortnightly rubbish collections, and can order a fortnightly garden waste service. Most flats have shared bins for rubbish and to recycle paper, glass and cans. • Put containers out by 7am on collection days and no earlier than the night before. Take containers in as soon as possible after collections. • Stack boxes with locked food waste bin on top to stop waste being blown out. • All containers belong to Somerset Waste Partnership (SWP) and cannot be bought, sold, exchanged or given away. Leave containers behind if you move (except your garden waste bin, if moving within Somerset).

• Disposable nappies (see website about saving money with cloth nappies) or adult hygiene products. Collections after bank holidays may be delayed – check the SWP website, Facebook page, Twitter feed or e-newsletter. Watch for information delivered to your home from 2020 onwards about the future starting date of new weekly Recycle More collections taking far more plastic packaging, leading to emptier rubbish bins that will be collected every three weeks. Wellington Recycling Centre at the Poole Brickworks, Nynehead, TA21 9HW, is open five days a week: Wednesday-Thursday-Friday 9am-6pm summer (April-September) and 9am-5pm winter (October-March); Saturday and Sunday 9am-4pm. It is closed every Monday and Tuesday, and on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. Taunton, open seven days a week, is the next nearest recycle site.

Sort and segregate materials without using plastic bags:

Among materials accepted at Wellington to recycle:

For kerbside pick-ups:

• Recycle box 1. Paper; glass bottles and jars (unbroken only, not table or cookware). • Recycle box 2. Food and drink cans (rinse); aerosols (empty); plastic bottles (no tops); cardboard; aluminium foil. • On or beside boxes. Clothes and textiles, except stuffed items, such as pillows. Please put in plastic bags, not black sacks, to keep dry and label “textiles”. Tie and bag shoes in pairs.

Food waste collections

Do not put food waste in your rubbish. Use the kitchen caddy to add all cooked, fresh, “off” or raw food waste to the lockable kerbside food bin, including meat, small bones, cheese, eggs, fruit, vegetables, bread, pasta, tea bags, and paper kitchen towel. Use compostable liners – with the “looped seedling” logo – or line the caddy with newspaper. Store away from heat and direct sun. Do not include any plastic, garden waste or any other materials with food waste. All of Wellington’s food is recycled into electricity and agricultural fertilizer at the Somerset anaerobic digester.

Garden waste

Garden waste is a charged-for at-cost service that takes plants, grass and weeds; hedge and tree prunings (up to 10cm thick); straw or sawdust (if animal bedding, only from vegetarian domestic pets). It is suspended for one collection during Christmas and New Year.

Rubbish collections

Domestic rubbish is collected fortnightly. A wheeled bin is provided, if there is storage space. Only rubbish inside the bin with lid closed will be collected. If a wheeled bin is unsuitable for your property, up to four black sacks of rubbish will be taken each time.

Do not put these materials in rubbish: • Food waste. • Anything you can recycle. • Hot ash (leave to cool). • Hypodermic needles. • Business waste. • Rubble, earth, stones. • Garden waste. • Bulky household items. • Engine oil, paint, chemicals.

Use your rubbish bin for any household waste that cannot be recycled or composted: • Plastic film. • Vacuum cleaner contents. • Cat, dog or other pet litter. 114
