able older child. It includes an inventory of furniture at Nettlecombe
House, a description of Montacute House and its gardens, the rules for
serving meals, dance steps, illustrations of clothing,

Reformation
is aimed at Key Stage 3 or A-level students. There are extracts from
parish churchwardens accounts showing how church decoration and
furnishings changed in Edward VI's reign and extracts from Somerset
wills, showing the change from bequests to altars and lights in parish
churches and to chantry priests for singing masses for the soul of the
deceased to bequests of money and food to the parish poor
Defence,
Foreign Policy and Exploration is again aimed at the older student.
There are instructions to watchmen to light beacons on the approach of
enemy ships, a letter and certificate concerning sending Somerset men to
fight in Ireland with a colour map showing the siege of an Irish castle
and an account of Sir Francis Drake's last voyage to the West Indies in
1595. |
