See the link for Shepton Mallett on NRES▸ I never knew such a place existed...  (It's spelt Shepton Mallet for those not in the know)  |

Ah, dear old Shepton Mallet. He was once rumoured to have an affair with that scandalous woman Haselbury Plucknett. I had that on good authority from my old friend Compton Dando.

I believe Shepton Mallett may be a relative of Anatole (1837 - 1919), who of course has a strong railway connection.
(Is there an emoticon for tongue-in-cheek?)

Shepton Mallett - twinned with Newton Abbott
(another commonly misspelt place).

A fairly close relative of Nempnett Thrubwell, I understand? |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

Distantly related to Farrington Gurney, I believe. Who, by turn, is related by marriage to Buckland Dinham.  |

Ah - but was Farrington Gurney related to the rather strange Gurney Slade??  |
