Between 1898 and 1942 Herbert Golledge recorded the events which occurred around the villages of Shoscombe and Single Hill in the parish of Wellow, Somerset, England. The following is a transcript of the Notebook he used provided by Ella Drew before her death. Ella was for many years the landlady of the Apple-Tree Inn at Shoscombe. Whilst the transcription is in page number order it would appear that this is not the order they were entered. It would seem that he started from the back towards the front, at some point switched to the front and then continued in both directions.
