It was great to welcome the Monday club from Langport again. As always, I learnt some local history as well as telling about the History at the Hut.
The books, featuring adverts, clothing and life through the different decades are always popular.

Somerset, July 1645 was the year of the Battle of Langport. The conflict between King Charles 1st, and Parliament, about Religion, Taxes, and Laws. Most of the County was Royalist, except Taunton, which had a garrison under the command of Colonel Robert Blake - later Admiral. The main Royalist stronghold was under Colonel Edmund Wyndham, at Bridgwater.

The Battle of Sedgemoor 1685, the last battle on English soil.
This time, King Charles 1st, with Sir Ralph Hopton, had Oliver Cromwell, Lord Fairfax, Robert Blake and John Pym to contend with.

I spent a lovely morning last Friday, visiting the Curry Rivel Pensioners Luncheon Club. I took lots of books and objects, and as usual, I was busy chatting and listening to stories and memories, that I forgot to take photos of the morning.!
