Hello fellow Wedmoreans,
I have been reading a book of the Quarter Sessions Records of Charles I =
(1625-1639), when I came upon a letter which caught my eye, written =
April 28th, 1626, from William Capell to his fellow justice, Sir Robert =
Hopton. In it, William Capell says:
".I hope you will procure orders for the fitting, finishing, and =
maintaining of the House of Correction. There was yesterday fourteen =
brought before me and presented that are so fit for no place as the =
House of Correction, all of one parish, Wedmore, 4 or 5 of them idle =
whores that had had 1,2,3, and 6 bastards".
Well, I don't know about you lot, but it brightened up my day!
Sue Hembury-Kellow
