The Little Book of Somerset
Did you know? The town of Wincanton is twinned with a place that does not exist. William Gibbs of Tyntesfield House made his fortune by importing bird droppings from Peru. A song by 'Scrumpy and Western' singer Adge Cutler was banned by the BBC for being too raunchy. Nine villages in Somerset are known as the 'Thankful Villages'. From seaside to countryside and villages to towns, Somerset is a county where it's difficult to separate history and mystery. This fast-paced, fact-packed compendium of places, people and trivia reveals all sorts of answers to questions you might have wondered about – and some you didn't. The facts, stats and anecdotes will surprise even those familiar with this beautiful and historic county.
The Courtauld Gallery at Somerset House
The renowned art collection originally built up by the industrial magnate Samuel Courtauld in the 1920s, and since greatly expanded thanks to generous gifts and bequests, is now permanently housed in the splendid architectural surroundings of London's Somerset House. The nineteenth-century core of the collection reflects Samuel Courtauld's policy of buying paintings by the leading Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists. As a result of subsequent expansion, the collection bearing Courtlauld's name now also embraces important paintings ranging in period from the fourteenth century to the twentieth, including works by Bruegel, Rubens, Gainsborough, Goya, and Modigliani.
