Yeovil

And finally in this alphabetic selection from Somerset we come to Yeovil, starting with a straight line handstamp from 1799.  The entire is addressed to Lord Arundell and went free.  It relates to dividing up the estate for sale and enclosed a handbill for the sale of timber.

 

Yeovil had a Penny Post; the following are examples of some of the receiving house handstamps starting with "No.1" which was Montacute.

Receiving House "No.2" was Stoke.

While Receiving House "No.4" was Haselbury.

And finally a cover from 1945 that I believe is associated with Yeovil - the US 159th General Hospital was at Yeovil and this letter has been sent free from there in the US Army Postal Service.
