The new edition of John Rutter’s classic text, which was first published in 1829, is finally here! This revised edition of Rutter’s substantial and detailed work not only explores a range of popular local attractions, such as Brockley Hall and Leigh Court, but also identifies points of geological interest during the 1800s. This exciting new book is a true gem for anyone interested in the fascinating history of Somerset and its attractions. Areas covered include: Nailsea, Long Aston, Weston‐Super‐Mare, Chew Magna, Brockley and Bristol.
As Robert Dunning acknowledges in his introduction, ‘...this reproduction of Rutter’s Delineationsis an eloquent acknowledgement of a valuable original work.’
THE AUTHOR
John Rutter was born in Bristol on the 10th of April 1796 and was the youngest of seven children. In July 1818 he married the daughter of a Quaker draper. That same year he published his first pamphlet, summarising the history of a piece of countryside south‐east of Shaftesbury.
Delineations of the North Western Division of the County of Somerset was first published in 1829 and was the result of two excursions Rutter made in 1828.
