Here are two further receiving house handstamps used in the Cross Penny Post, starting with a boxed "No.10" handstamp. The receiving house is believed to be in East Brent, where ths entire below was written. This is a late example from 1849 (well after the end of the Penny Posts in 1840).
The final example is an unboxed "No.12" receiving house handstamp used in February 1839 (so during the actual Penny Post period). It was written in Hutton Vicarage and it is likely that the receiving house was either in Hutton or in nearby Locking.
