Bath Chronicle and Weekly Gazette: Thursday 6th March 1873

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

Northam Improvements: Another road improvement about to be carried out by public subscription. It is Edith Cross-lane, an occupation road, which now in a wretched condition, having never been repaired the parish. The distance by the road proposed set order being about cue-eighth of a mile less than by that through the village, the carrying out of the improvement may be regarded as a great convenience to persons proceeding to and from this place as well as to the residents of Northam and Westward Ho! It is to be coated, widened in certain places, and drained, and already Mr. Pynsent, who has taken the matter up, has received several subscriptions and promises of labour. Further assistance is, of course, required, and will doubt be forthcoming.
