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.
