Cheddon Fitzpaine, Clapton, Claverham, Cleeve

This first postcard is from Cheddon Fitzpaine, near Taunton, posted in May 1916.

The next is from Clapton, near Crewkerne, posted in October 1922.

Claverham was under Bristol until the post office closed in 2008.  This first sheet shows two single ring cancels from 1907 and 1910, and a skeleton from 1908.

Two further Claverham single ring cancels, from 1940 and 1974.

The first postcard below from Cleeve must have been sent between 1902 (when the KEVII stamp was issued) to 1918 (when the postcard rate was increased to a penny).
