The Elder and the Younger Pitt: Their Connection with Bath: …. (long discussion) … Other records of the period inform us of the sincere respect which he retained to the last for his distinguished friend, one of the strongest proofs being that he left him £1,000 in his will. Soon afterwards, Mr. Pitt received a still more substantial token of regard from a Somersetshire baronet, Sir William Pynsent, who, having no children, bequeathed to him his estates at Burton Pynsent worth nearly £3,000 a year in admiration of his conduct. …  (continues) … In 1766, he spent some time in Bath, and he is stated in the newspapers of the day to have taken a house for seven years, but there is not race of renewed intercourse with his constituents. Having made a speech in the House of Commons on the Stamp Act he went to Burton Pynsent where he had formed large pans for the adornment of his estate. …. (long ongoing discussion of the two Pitts and of Burton Pynsent) … It might not be generally known that Burton Pynsent could be seen by travellers on the Bristol and Exeter Railway, close to Langport. The obelisk in the park there was not as people told them erected to Pitt; it was erected by Pitt in gratitude to Sir William Pynsent

Bath Guardians: … An Unpleasant Subject: At the previous meeting of the Board there was considerable discussion respecting the lady visitors’ report on the condition of the men’s lavatories at the House, and this morning the House Committee reported: “This matter was very fully discussed, and ultimately the following resolution adopted: ‘Having considered the visitors’ report and the Master’s explanation, the Committee are satisfied that the complaint arose owing to constructional condition of premises referred to and the class of inmate using them’”.
