Places to see in ( Bruton - UK )
Bruton is a town in Somerset, southwest England, known for its verdant countryside. On a hill in Jubilee Park, the Dovecote is a former watchtower from the 16th century with views of the town. Hauser & Wirth Somerset, an arts centre in converted farm buildings, hosts modern art exhibitions and seminars. To the east, woodland trails lead to King Alfred’s Tower, a folly commemorating the end of the Seven Years’ War.
Bruton is a small town, electoral ward, and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated on the River Brue along the A359 between Frome and Yeovil. It is 7 miles (11 km) south-east of Shepton Mallet, just south of Snakelake Hill and Coombe Hill, 10 miles (16 km) north-west of Gillingham and 12 miles (19 km) south-west of Frome in the South Somerset district. The town and electoral ward have a population of 2,907. The parish includes the hamlets of Wyke Champflower and Redlynch.
Bruton has a museum dedicated to the display of items from Bruton's past from the Jurassic geology up to the present day. The museum houses a table used by the author John Steinbeck to write on during his six-month stay in Bruton. The River Brue has a long history of flooding in Bruton. In 1768 the river rose very rapidly and destroyed a stone bridge.
It was the site of Bruton Abbey, a medieval Augustinian priory from which a wall remains in the Plox close to Bow Bridge. The priory was sold after the dissolution of the monasteries to the courtier Sir Maurice Berkeley (died 1581) whose Bruton branch of the Berkeley family converted it into a mansion which was demolished in the late eighteenth century.
The Dovecote which overlooks Bruton was built in the sixteenth century. It was at one time used as a house, possibly as a watchtower and as a dovecote. It is a Grade II* listed building and ancient monument. It is managed by the National Trust. The building was once within the deerpark of the Abbey and was adapted by the monks from a gabled Tudor tower.
Bruton was part of the hundred of Bruton. Bruton is referenced in a well-known English folk song, The Bramble Briar. A very rare copy of an Inspeximus of Magna Carta was discovered in Bruton in the 1950s and claimed by King's School, Bruton. The sale of the school's copy to the Australian National Museum paid for a great deal of the building work at the school.
Much of the town's history is exhibited at the Bruton Museum. The museum is housed in the Dovecote Building, in the town's High Street. The building also contains a tourist information office. The Bruton Museum Society was formed in 1989 and involved the community and local schools in the development of the collection of local artefacts. It was initially housed in the basement of the Co-Op and then in a disused Coach House owned by the National Westminster Bank. The museum moved to its current location in 1999 after it was jointly purchased by South Somerset District Council and Bruton Town Council.
Bruton station lies on the Great Western Main Line (in a section often referred to as the Berks and Hants route) between Westbury and Taunton. This route is the most direct between London (Paddington) and the West Country (ending at Penzance), but is slower due to the geographical nature of the route. The stretch between Westbury and Castle Cary is also part of the Heart of Wessex line served by Great Western Railway services between Bristol Temple Meads and Weymouth.
Work to build the railway line at Bruton Railway Cutting exposed geology of the epoch of the Middle Jurassic. It is one of the best places in England to demonstrate the stratigraphic distinction of ammonites in the subcontractus zone and the morrisi zone.

USA: WASHINGTON: BRUTON AND ADAMS ATTEND IRELAND FUND DINNER
English/Nat
Irish Prime Minister John Bruton and Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams were guests at an Ireland Fund dinner in Washington which raised thousands of dollars (d) to help the stalled Irish peace process.
With President Clinton away in Israel, First Lady Hillary Clinton picked up a peace prize for her an her husband's efforts towards peace.
During the dinner Mr Bruton called on the I-R-A to bury their weapons.
Hundreds of people gathered for the one-hundred-dollars-a-head American Ireland Fund dinner to raise money for the Northern Ireland peace process.
First Lady Hillary Clinton called on the I-R-A to give up violence.
SOUNDBITE:
We are all praying that the summit of peacemakers in the Middle East sends the message to those who choose violence: you cannot win because the forces for peace will not be divided anywhere in the world.
SUPER CAPTION: Hillary Clinton, First Lady
Irish Prime Minister John Bruton, in Washington to persuade U-S officials to continue supporting the peace process, called on the I-R-A to disarm and bury their weapons.
SOUNDBITE:
Put your guns away, put your bullets away, leave your explosives buried forget where they are don't dig them up again, they're not necessary.
SUPERCAPTION: John Bruton, Irish Prime Minister
Gerry Adams, now excluded from the peace talks between British Prime Minister John Major and the Irish Prime Minister, didn't speak in an official capacity or have any contact with the First Lady.
Afterwards, he told reporters he would assist in any way to bring about peace.
SOUNDBITE:
It would be better for people to talk to Sinn Fein than to talk at Sinn Fein. Having said that I do with the (?) well, I will assist in any way to bring about the goal John Hume and I set very clearly some number of years ago that was the (?) agreement between the (?) people of the island of Ireland. The British people have a responsibility to assist in that also.
SUPERCAPTION: Gerry Adams, Sinn Fein leader
With the renewal of bombing attacks by the I-R-A, the Clinton administration has tried to distance itself from Adams.
He was granted a visa to attend St Patrick's Day events, but was told there would be no official contacts with administration officials.
However, Adams still met with lawmakers - a sign the White House still wants Sinn Fein involved in the peace process.
It just can't be seen to be identifying with the Sinn Fein leader while the ceasefire remains broken.

Paul McCarthy Ship Adrift, Ship of Fools
Paul McCarthy is one of America’s most influential artists. Based in Los Angeles, California, McCarthy is known for his challenging work in a variety of media including performance, drawing, painting and sculpture. His work has been shown in major institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York NY; Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden; Whitechapel Gallery, London, England; and Tate Modern, London, England.
McCarthy’s ‘Ship Adrift, Ship of Fools’ (2010 – 2011), on view in St. James’s Square until 15 February 2012, is a monumental bronze sculpture of a small ship carrying ten abstracted children. McCarthy has modelled the work on Hummels, mid-century kitsch German figurines that embodied innocence and purity. Here, McCarthy explores cultural representations of childhood and naivety, themes that have played a significant role throughout his artistic practice.
Scattered around the sculpture’s base are paintbrushes, pipes, and buckets overflowing with foam resting on a plush carpet and – like the ship – memorialised in bronze. These miscellaneous items from the artist’s studio are remnants of the work’s construction. They mark the passage of time and document McCarthy’s unique sculptural process

The Queen describes a tin of Bloater Paste as 'disgusting'
The Queen, 93, looked elegant in a mint green coat and matching hat as she visited a pop-up Sainsbury's store in central London this morning. The shop is designed to look just like the supermarket's first branch, which opened its doors on Drury Lane in 1869. When it first opened, the shop sold only butter, milk and eggs. The Queen's great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria was on the throne at the time.

Places to see in ( Castle Cary - UK )
Places to see in ( Castle Cary - UK )
Castle Cary is a small market town and civil parish in south Somerset, England, 5 miles north west of Wincanton and 8 miles south of Shepton Mallet. The parish includes the hamlet of Dimmer. The town is situated at the foot of Lodge Hill and on the River Cary, a tributary of the Parrett.
The site of Cary Castle is above the town. It was built either by Walter of Douai or by the following owners, the Perceval family, after the Norman conquest. It was besieged by King Stephen in 1138, and again in 1153. By 1468 the castle had been abandoned in favour of a manor house which was built beside it. The site was excavated in 1890 and demonstrated the foundations of a 24 square metres (258 sq ft) square tower, although only the earthworks are visible today.
The Living History Group is an active group of local amateur historians in the town who have published several books concerning the history of Castle Cary and its personalities. In 1900, for example, Castle Cary cricket club provided five players for the Devon and Somerset Wanderers team that won the only Olympic cricket title. The Cricket Club is to mark its 175th anniversary in 2012, with a celebration of the Castle Cary players who played in 1900, whilst the London Games take place. On 19 June 2004, Castle Cary was granted Fairtrade Village status.
Castle Cary railway station is on the main Reading to Taunton line and the Heart of Wessex line. It is about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the town. Every year around the time of the summer solstice this railway station is used by thousands of festival goers who travel to nearby Worthy Farm for the Glastonbury Festival (about 7 miles from Glastonbury);— a parade of free buses and coaches take ticket holders to and from the festival site. Bus services operate from the town to Yeovil, Shepton Mallet, Street and Wincanton. The town is on the Monarch's Way long-distance footpath.
Attractions in Castle Cary include a small circular eighteenth-century prison called the roundhouse. This is a temporary prison, or village lock-up. It was built in 1779 by Mr WM Clark for £23, from money left to the poor of Castle Cary in 1605. The Market House a grade II* listed building built in 1855 in anticipation of increased trade after the projected arrival of the railway in 1856, by F.C. Penrose. It replaced the former house on the site which had stood since 1616, and incorporating some features from the earlier building. The market house contains the local Castle Cary and District Museum.
Hadspen House is Grade II* Listed manor house outside the town. The original farmhouse was built by William Player between 1687 and 1689; the Hobhouse family acquired the house in 1785 and have owned it ever since. The gardens were restored by the garden writer and designer Penelope Hobhouse in the late 1960s.
The Grade II* listed Top Mill Building at Higher Flax Mills which was built in the 19th century is on the Heritage at Risk register.

Winifred Bruton Fake Art
The Fake Art of Winifred Bruton
This is some of the racist fake artwork of the South African painter Winifred Brunton, created in the early 20th century, fueled the myth of White Egyptians. Winifred Brunton was there, she saw first-hand what the ancient Egyptians actually looked like. But seeking to benefit monetarily from the yearnings of Whites to have an ancient history, she cynically created fake artwork of White Egyptians to satisfy their need. Even today, many ignorant Whites still believe that ancient Egyptians were White people..
Winifred Brunton (1880 - 1959) was a painter and the daughter of Charles Newberry (1841-1922) who immigrated to South Africa in 1864, and became a major sharholder in Cecil Rhodes Central Mining Company, which later became De Beers. She was also the South African wife of British Egyptologist Guy Brunton, who excavated at Lahun with Sir Flinders Petrie, as well as at other sites later in his career. Later, Guy Brunton served as Assistant Keeper of the Cairo Museum in 1931
