More about this scene
Further west along the A30, Chard is a market town laid out in 1234 by Bishop Jocelyn of Wells. It grew into a prosperous wool town; in the 19th century cloth-making was replaced by lace-making and producing agricultural machinery. In this view, which looks east, the portico of the 1834 Town Hall dominates, with its two storeys of Tuscan columns, pediment and clock turret.
