Castle Cary in the Shaftesbury Fifth Clause Post

A recent acquisition, I think this is the last Fifth Clause Post cancel for Bruton and Castle Cary under the Shaftesbury, Shepton Mallet and Wincanton Fifth Clause Posts and for Wincanton under the Shaftesbury Post.

The sheet below shows an entire from Castle Cary ("No.2" Receiving House) to Sherborne via the Shaftesbury Fifth Clause Post, sent in June 1829 (a few months before Castle Cary switched to the newly-established Wincanton Fifth Clause Post - see previous post).
