Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Mendip Valley, Its Inhabitants and Surroundings: Being an Enlarged and Illustrated Edition of Winscombe Sketches The Second Edition of winscombe sketches having been some time exhausted, an opportunity has been given for enlarging and revising the work, and issuing it in an illustrated form, and under a new title.

To Canon Church, the sub - dean of Wells, I am indebted for an inspection of the Register in the Cathedral Library, from which the history of Winscombe Church has been corrected. References to other friends and neighbours will be found in the body of the work.
