I am doing some research on the jugs presented after the riot of 1831 but have been unable to find exactly when they were presented. did Yeovil have a newspaper at the time and if so who would have archive copies?

  Dear Mr Mernick
  Thank you for your enquiry. I have asked our local historian to dig into the local newspaper archives, hopefully he will come up with the answer!
  
  Your website appears to be a labour of love, details of the Yeovil riot jugs would be quite an addition.
  
  Kind regards,

    Dear Mr Mernick,
    Unfortunately our local historian has been unable to come-up any further information. However this link https://sites.google.com/site/jbseatrobe/political-somerset/yeovil-s-1831-riot-jugs has led me to the Community Heritage Access Centre (CHAC) in Yeovil. Email Joseph at joseph.lewis@southsomerset.gov.uk. He should have more answers about Yeovil’s Riot Jugs.
    Kind regards,
    James Fison
