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).&mdash; Rod talk 18:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

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)
