 Crewkerne

|
| Crewkerne,
an interesting small town, well worth a stop to wander around
the square and small streets. Very cheap all day parking.
The town had two main
industries, flax weaving and sail making, and the buildings
are still there.
Also worth a look
is the old Grammar School, and 17th and 18th century alms
houses. The 15th century church has some nice features.
Quite a few antique
shops and places to have afternoon tea. Georgian buildings
in the town, which is dominated by the church.
