Carhampton,Catsham, Charlton Horethorne, Charlton Mackrell

This first registered cover has "CARHAMPTON / MINEHEAD SOMERSET" double circle cancels but unfortunately the year is unreadable. However, because the envelope is franked 8½d, it must be from the period from 1st May 1952 to 31st May 1956 when the miniumum registration fee was 6d and the postal rate was 2½d.

This next cover has a commemorative cancel for Catsham in 1995 (there was no post office at Catsham).

Charlton Horethorne is in Somerset but comes under Sherborne in Dorset.

The cover below is from Charlton Mackrell in December 1908 and is cancelled "CHARLTON MACKRELL / SOMERTON.S.O.SOM".  The office had transferred to Taunton in November 1907 but did not receive a "CHARLTON MACKRELL / TAUNTON" handstamp until October 1921.
