John Ratcliffe, Nether Stowey

John Ratcliffe at his home in Nether Stowey.  John has carried out extensive research on James Cole, who lived in the village when Coleridge was here and knew Coleridge and Wordsworth.  Cole became a famous clockmaker.  John has 
re-built village clocks and knows village history and architecture and has manorial rights to collect oak from the woods--but not more than he can carry.
