Talk: Kilmersdon
I have made some changes the page which has been updated not too long ago after I started it - an excellent job whoever did it!
However... there were a couple of anomalies I changed and I thought I'd write why ! Firstly Lord Hilton's son lives in Ammerdown house - the current Lord Hilton lives in Hemmington - nearby. Secondly Kilmersdon is fairly distinctive in that it does not, unlike many of the other villages and towns around, have any observable evidence of the mining that took place - probably because the minehead was in Haydon?
I have been unable to check or prove that the church, St Peter & St Paul is Grade I listed - but I am extremely surprised that it is ? Is this definitely the case? I should add, since I was the one who mentioned the connection with Lutyens that it ought to have a reference, and I don't have one. When I'm next in the area I will have a root around for Lord Hilton's book on the village which should be able to provide a definitive answer on the above and perhaps some more detail.

- Hi Ted, Thanks for the comments and changes. I did some of the edits including the info box, although others have as well. I can confirm the grade 1 listed status of St Peter & St Paul if you click on the ref (No 2) attached to it - you will get to Images of England which English Heritages site see Church of St. Peter and St. Paul . If you register with that site you can check almost all listed buildings in England (except a few who have got their status in the last few years).— Rod talk 18:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
