The newspaper was established in Chard, Somerset, about 1874, as a weekly newspaper published on Saturdays, priced at one penny,[2] [3] and in 1882 was identified as Liberal-supporting, with a circulation of one thousand copies. It was then in competition with the longer-established Nowlen's Weekly Chronicle, Chard, Ilminster, and Axminster Gazette, which was Conservative and was selling 850 copies at a higher price.[4]
The newspaper continues to be published weekly in Chard and covers the local news, events, jobs, births, deaths and marriages of Chard, Ilminster, Crewkerne, and the villages of South Somerset.[5]
