This fairly common "CHARD / 142" handstamp from 1817 has some interesting comments, being instructions to book "a place in the Maid to Chard,
no other Coach passes through Chard", with the writer saying that he would meet the coach at "Windowhistle" (now Windwhistle) "if the weather be fine and the lanes passable".
Two examples of another fairly common handstamp, the "FROME / 115" handstamp, from 1825 and 1826. The first example appears to have been posted on Christmas Day.
And finally two examples of the undated circular "MARTOCK / 126" handstamp, from 1826 and 1827.
