Here's what I did: 1. Into a well known search engine I put in the two words <montacute somerset> 2. This yielded millions of hits but on the front page the 7th one was "Montacute Somerset village parish ...", and when I clicked on this I got the http://www.ukvillages.co.uk/village/Montacute-Somerset website 3. On the front page there is a small map with a <click here for a larger map> caption 4. This yielded a map detailing an area 4Km square with Montacute at the centre 5. Two clicks of the <zoom out> option produced a map covering an area 15Km square, and ... 6. One click on the <shift centre of map Northwards> option yielded a map with Montacute at the southern edge and Charlton Adam and Keinton Mandeville near the top (North) of the map. Thus after the initial typing of two words <montacute somerset>, and a total of 6 clicks on the mouse, I had the answer: Montacute is about 11Km (7 miles) SSW of Charlton Adam. The enquiry took considerably less time that it's taken to type this reply. Isn't the internet wonderful!
