A History of the County of Somerset, Volume VI: Andersfield, Cannington, and North Petherton Hundreds (Bridgwater and Neighbouring Parishes)
Author:
R.W. Dunning
Published:
1992
Medium: Book
Publisher:
Boydell & Brewer Ltd
Andersfield, Cannington, and North Pether-ton hundreds together occupy the Lower Par-rett valley stretching from the Quantock ridge in the west to King's Sedgemoor in the east, and from the Bristol Channel in the north to the river Tone in the south. By the late 11th century the settlement pattern was dense, especially between the Quantocks and the Parrett, an area crossed by the Saxon 'herpath' in the north and including the 10th-century strongholds of Athelney and Lyng in the south and the Domesday royal manors of Can-nington, North Petherton, and Creech St. Michael.

Somerset 1830 Pigot's Directory
Published:
1830
Medium: CD
Publisher:
Archive CD Books
One of the earliest directories, this one covers the whole of the county, with descriptions of all of the towns and main villages, churches, schools, etc. and a listing of people with trades. Everything from doctors to candle makers, dress makers working from home to chimney sweeps, butchers, bakers and bricklayers, etc. A huge amount of early 19th century information of interest to historians and genealogists.
This county directory was purchased from a book dealer as a loose collection of unbound pages with no cover. Originally it would have been part of a combined county volume, and therefore when Archive CD Books finally obtained all of the other parts of the book (over a period of time from many different book dealers) they decided to reinstate it as you see illustrated here. Beautifully rebound in half leather, with hand made marbled paper and real gold leaf lettering and lining on the spine.
