North Coker, North Perrott, Nynehead, Odcombe, Otterhampton

North Coker is 2½ miles WSW of Yeovil.  Prior to 1857 it was called East Coker, and it reverted back to that name in January 1917.  The East Coker post office closed in 2008.

North Perrott is 3½ miles east of Crewkerne.  The post office closed in 1995.

The cover below has a Nynehead commemorative cancel for the 18th World Ploughing Contest in October 1971.  The Nynehead post office closed in 1974.

The registered envelope has a partial black "ODCOMBE / MONTACUTE / SOMERSET"  cancel dated June 1921.  Odcombe had transferred to Montacute in 1910 and transferred to Yeovil in 1925.

The envelope has a Water Wildlife commemorative cancel for Otterhampton in 1992.  Otterhampton did not have a post office.
