    Chard Facts – Did you know…

    1. First Flight
      Chard has claims as the birthplace of powered flight. Local factory engineer John Stringfellow, built a steam-powered aircraft which flew “30 yards of straight and level powered flight”. His first attempt managed just 10 yards before crashing.
    2. Camelot
      The town was recorded in the Domesday Book as Cerdre, most likely relating to Cerdic, the founder of the Kingdom of Wessex. There are also links to the legend of King Arthur.
    3. In the Money
      During WWII a bomb-proof bunker was built close to the town to store duplicate records from the Bank of Westminster in case the originals were destroyed. It also had an emergency supply of bank notes for the Bank of England.
    4. Haunted Hotel
      The Choughs Hotel is reportedly one of the most haunted hotels in Britain. Spooky sightings have included a knight in armour, a crying child and the infamous Hanging Judge Jeffreys.
    5. Rebel Yell
      In 1685 Judge Jeffreys sentenced 12 local men to be hung at a Hang-cross Tree, for their part in the Monmouth Rebellion. The tree was removed in 1861 to make room for the railway.
    6. I Predict A Riot
      The local militia had to be called in to quell the ‘Lace Riots’ in 1842, when workers gathered to protest against wage cuts. Authorities read the Riot Act to the demonstrators before making arrests.

    About

    The most southerly point of Somerset, Chard is surrounded by glorious countryside, nestled between the Blackwood Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, East Devon AONB and Dorset AONB. And if that’s not for you, it’s also not far from the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    The town itself has a fascinating history, from hanging judges and haunted hotels, to the Bank of England’s secret stash and its claim to being the site of Camelot. You’ll find great local shops, quirky producers, delightful eateries and a friendly community feel.

    Leisure

    As well as all that (officially) beautiful countryside, if you’re looking to enjoy the great outdoors, there is also the Chard Reservoir which covers 91.4 acres and a nearby nature reserve.

    The town has a cricket club, theatre society, plus groups dedicated to photography, cycling, literature and all manner of interests for those that like to join in. There’s a Saturday street market packed with delicious goodies.
