North Curry

There does not seem to be an obvious way to sequence these posts so sometimes they jump purely based on the alphabet.  Here are a few items from North Curry, just outside of Taunton.

North Curry was a Receiving House under the Taunton Penny Post from 1829 with a boxed "No.12" receiving house handstamp.  Here are a couple of examples.
An interesting letter from 1847 with a North Curry undated cancel, being a letter from the Dykesreeves of the North Curry sewers to a solicitor in Wells.
And finally some postcards from 1909 to 1944 with a variety of North Curry cancels showing views of the interior of the local church and of the village.
