N.N.W. of Bishop's Lydeard Station, has a church dedicated to St Thomas of Canterbury. The one dates from the 14th, the other from the 16th cent., and both are well worth examining. Adjoining the church is Cothelstone Manor, the home of the Stawells, a Jacobean house, partially destroyed by Blake in the Civil War.
Thus we had the Stawells and Barrys, the Leslie Fosters, Sladens, Rusdens, of town and neighbourhood, and the Campbells, McKnights, Irvines, of surrounding squatterdom. Most of these are long since the fathers of families, native Australians, including sons who not unfrequently finished their education in the mother country a dutiful deference which Australia may surely not yet quarrel with.
