Earliest record of Vallis in the Shepton Montague area i know of is Hannah Vallis b 1682, however this does not mean that they were not in the area before ths time as records were often not kept by Clery who were illiterate or too lazy to maintain them . The earliest register was 1538 damaged in the Church Fire (Shepton Montague ) 1964, and Reverand Kenneth Ashcroft (vicar 1956) told a family member that he had personally traced the Vallis family back to the first register if 1538.

Wow - that must have been brilliant work by the Reverend - anyone got any records of his research ?

I read somewhere that there used to be Vallis family Reunions held at Shepton until about 10 years ago.

Ther's a lady called Denise Ottaway who has also been doing a lot of research on the Shpton Vallis families - I assume she has also been in touch with you?
