About the book >.>.> The documents themselves ranged from 19th century print to medieval Latin -and medieval handwritings. We are most grateful to the Bristol and Somerset Records Offices who made these early manuscripts available to us in Xerox copy form. This did mean that in many cases members had first to master both a strange language and very strange handwritings. With all except the 19th century printed documents a full transcript of the record was first made. These papers therefore like the top of the iceberg represent only a part of a much bigger undertaking by this local history group and an achievement which has thrown new light on a variety of facets of the village’s history.
