Time will not permit me to give more than an outline of the 
history of this parish. The following notes commence from the 
earliest record, A.D. 931, to the beginning of the 17th century, 
besides these I have many extracts from Documents, Court Rolls, 
Lay Subsidies, Chancery Inquisitions, Wills, &c., at the Record 
Office, British Museum, Somerset House and elsewhere, relating 
to the parish and its people. The first record will be found in 
the Bath Abbey Chartularies, some of these. documents being in 
possession of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and others at 
Lincoln’s Inn, and referred to as C.C.C.C. and L.I. These Chartu- 
laries have been published by the Somerset Record Society, so 
that it will not be necessary for me to give them in full.
