The wrapper below went from Montacute (based on the filing note) in the Yeovil Penny Post and then to London in August 1839.
Montacute is thought to have had the boxed "No.1" receiving house handstamp in the Yeovil Penny Post but no clear examples have been recorded. It is also thought to have been in the South Petherton Penny Post. It is shown in the 1838 Post Office Accounts as having an annual income of 7s-11d against South Petherton so examples will be extremely rare.
