Taunton Fifth Clause Post - "No.4"

Dunster was Receiving House No.4 in the Taunton Fifth Clause Post and remained in the Fifth Clause Post until February 1829 when the Taunton Penny Post was reorganised, because Mr Luttrell of Dunster Castle objected to any prior conversion to a Penny Post (he would have had to pay for his franked letters and newspapers).

The entire below is from 1826 from Dunster to Wiveliscombe and is charged 7d, the charge that would be made if the letter had travelled in the General Post all the way from Dunster to Wiveliscombe.
