Hello, Many thanks for your help, my great great  great grandfather worked here also my great  great grandfather, infact my great great grandfather was born just  behind the mill at Hurst Batch and baptised in St Matthews Wookey.
He spent his life as a papermaker working in paper mills in various parts of the UK, Bathford, Keighley,Darley Abbey Derby,Alton and Dartford in Kent.

                  Many Thanks Ken
