Monkton House

A Memory of West Monkton.

I lived with my family in this house for a few months when we first arrived in England from Northern Ireland, it was being renovated by one "Gassy" Harris and was full of the smell of sawn timber. A few years back I revisited the house briefly and met with someone who I think was doing some temporary gardning, though his main profession was thatching, and had worked on that very renovation; now I have lost his name. I attended West Monkton School and got befriended by Johnny Curry, whom I subsequently met up with again at Taunton School, but then lost contact with. There was a boss-eyed stallion in the field behind the house which bit me on the bottom.

My friends parents own it now the Perris 's they own the Farmers Inn in West Hatch
Interesting: I might look in at the Farmers next time I'm down that way. Meanwhile here is a link to a nice piece about Gassy: https://wordgetsaround.co.uk/article/gassy-harris-and-taunton-gas
