You'll find meeting notes here.

I have been exploring the SANHS website to see what they had on Pen and one of their proceedings is 'BATES, E H, "Pen Selwood", vol. 50 (1904) pp. 50-67.' Their papers are generally interesting, but before summoning the energy to go to Taunton to look at it, I wondered if anybody else has seen it?

I have just joined with help from Geoff! and look forward to many interesting future meetings.

You'll find some pages on Castles of Pen to the right.

If you are interested in the original OS maps of Pen Selwood you can view them here. http://maps.nls.uk/index.html Just do a search on Penselwood.

And get a printed or digital copy for a modest cost.

See the first results of the geophysical survey on the page to the right.

I've added the link to the Somerset hillforts that Jonathan shared under a page called Hillforts

Hello

I am making of study of Primitive Methodist chapels in Dorset and Somerset. I understand that the chapel in Pen Selwood, originally sited in Chapel Lane,was closed in the 1950's. Can anyone confirm that the building was totally demolished or was it modified for residential use ?It is difficult to see on Google Street View what structure is on the site now.Additionally if anyone has or knows the whereabouts of a photo of the original chapel I should be delighted to hear from them. I am not local but live in South Dorset.     Many Thanks

Martin Reeves
