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)

[edit] Meaning of Kilmersdon

I wanted to add the meaning of Kilmersdon but the reference I found actually contradicted what I thought! I have added the meaning as found in the reference however I previously believed the name kilmersdon was named after a tribe 'Killa' who had a settlement 'don' by a lake 'mere', put together Killameredon. Obviously I have no evidence for this, only what I have heard. If anyone knows anything about this please add it to the discussion. Achilles85 21:47, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
