Here is a newly identified "CREWKHERN" handstamp, used in November 1796 on an entire sent free to London by John Poulett, 4th Earl Poulett. It has been added to the Somerset County Catalogue as SO 399.
The handstamp has an 'H' in the middle but no final 'E' unlike SO 400 "CREWKHERNE" which is known in use in 1798-1801. The sizes are similar (54x5 mm vs 54x4mm) but the new handstamp is without the final 'E'.
