Taunton Penny Post - boxed "No.1"

Gore Inn, Bishop's Lydeard had the boxed "No.1" handstamp from sometime around the start of 1817.  It also transferred from the Fifth Clause to Penny Post at about that time.  Here is an example of the boxed "No.1" handstamp used in the Taunton Penny Post in May 1817.

Here are three more examples of the boxed "No.1" handstamp from 1823, 1824 and 1828.
