Note 2

In about 1822, according to Goldsworthy in his recollections of about 1866, Turle was a barber and fiddler living next door to the Fleur de Lis, an inn kept by Pidgeon (James in 1830 and Sarah in1840). It was called the Jackass Tavern because it was where the Broom Squires put up when bringing brooms in to Taunton from Broomfield on donkeys.
