| The name of Stephen Tymewell occurs as one of the capital burgesses in the Corporation of 1677. He appears to have been Mayor of Taunton in 1683, for he thus describes having sacked the great meeting-house called Poole, and the Baptist one, on the same day: "We burnt ten cart-loads of pulpit, doors, gates, and seats, upon the Market-Place. We staid till three in the morning, before all were burnt. We were very merry. The bells rung all night. The Church is now full; thank God for it. The fanaticks dare not open their mouths." On January 21, 1684, he reported that, since demolishing the public meeting-house, he had taken nine private conventicles, and made records thereof, and intended to do the like to the rest as soon as he could; so that he did not hear of any conventicles in that place. --State Paper Office, Sir L Jenkins, 13, 14. |

| The name of George Treagle occurs as a bookseller on some publications of the Civil War period, e.g., "Man's Wrath and God's Praise; or, a Thanksgiving Sermon, Preached at Taunton, in the County of Somerset, the 11th of May (A Day to be had in everlasting remembrance), for the gratious deliverance of that poore Toune from the strait siege. By George Newton, Mr of Arts, and Minister of the Gospell in that place. London: printed by M. Wilson for Francis Eglesfield, at the Marigold in Paul's-churchyard, and are to be sold by George Treagle in Taunton. 1646." May 11 was for many years observed as a day of rejoicing at Taunton, and a sermon was preached "upon the day set apart for the Annuall Commemoration." Several of these are extant, bearing the name of George Treagle as the seller; also a sermon preached at Wiveliscombe. "London: printed by A. M. for George Treagle at Taunton." 1652. The above George Treagle is the earliest known record of a bookseller carrying on business in Taunton. |
