4. Presentation – Quantock Heritage Group
The Quantock Heritage Group (QHG) is a community archaeology and heritage
research group covering the area of the Quantock Hills and West Somerset.
The Group exists to provide opportunities for local communities to learn new skills in a
range of heritage practices whilst contributing to high quality research which furthers
understanding of the history and prehistory of the area.
QHG has a multi-year community test pitting project in North Petherton, aimed at
uncovering the historical development of the village over millennia. This project
engages with residents and landowners of all ages in the local community by inviting
them to dig 1m square test pits on their properties. Participants, supported by
archaeologists within the QHG, will record the depth and type of artefacts or materials
discovered, providing valuable 'data points' that contribute to our understanding of
North Petherton’s evolution.

5. Open Forum
Registered Local Government Electors of the area covered by North Petherton
Town Council are invited to raise issues about things which affect the town. It
would be appreciated if questions could be emailed to
joy.norris@northpethertontowncouncil.gov.uk at least 48 hours before the
meeting as this will help with providing a response at the meeting.
