This is Northanger, <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Dunster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dunster</span></a>, c1969. I haven’t yet researched this house or its historical inhabitants.

Did you know that for several years, <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Dunster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dunster</span></a> was home to the artist Edward Bearne? His wife Catherine was an accomplished author. Below is a selection of Edward Bearne’s work. He painted in watercolours and oil, and exhibited at the Royal Academy on several occasions, winning the Turner medal. Bearne died in Dunster on 16 April 1913.</p>

The word “wassail” is said to come from ‘Waes hael’, a Saxon expression meaning good health. Wassailers sing & make noise in orchards to scare away evil spirits & awaken the apple trees to ensure a plentiful harvest.

Liz - WillsmanOneName<p><a href="https://toot.community/tags/OnePlaceAdvent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnePlaceAdvent</span></a>: occupations. Flashback to some analysis I did on occupations in <a href="https://toot.community/tags/Dunster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dunster</span></a> in the 1841 census. I was interested to see how many female employees occupations were recorded. Most men were employed in agriculture & most employed women were servants <a href="https://toot.community/tags/OnePlaceWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnePlaceWednesday</span></a></p>
