Janet It is times like this that I find the lack of access to West Somerset Free Press so frustrating (although it should be said that it was our local environmental health officer declared their Archive building unsafe). Do you know that there is also a Woodland Burial Ground in the parish now? I don't how who keeps records though and it would not have been there in 1967.
