Acquisition by the National Trust

The following passage may help to clarify the acquisition of the land by the National Trust. According to the "Dunkery Beacon", Western Times, 4 October 1935, p. 7:

"The properties came to the Trust first in 1918, through a large part of the Holnicote Estate, leased to them by the late Sir Thomas Acland, for 500 years. In 1932, that Beacon, with 960 acres of land round it, was given by Colonel Wiggin. Last year the acquisition was completed by the gift by Mrs. Allan Hughes of 945 acres close to the Beacon. In the terms of the Act of Parliament, under which the National Trust carried on its duties, all these properties were vested in the Trust for the benefit of the nation and were inalienable."

The article also explicitly states that Mrs Hughes was the wife of the late Alan Highes of Lynch Allerford, Minehead, and that the colonel was Colonel W. W. Wiggin. Regards, —Noswall59 (talk) 11:40, 15 May 2015 (UTC).

Thanks I have attempted to incorporate these into the article.— Rod ^talk 13:42, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Height

The height given here differs from that given for the summit on the Exmoor page and indeed on Ordnance Survey and the given reference no longer works - can a new reference be found or the figures altered to those given elsewhere for which we do have a reference? thanks Geopersona (talk) 19:25, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
