Is there no limit to your knowledge on maps :D

Many thanks again Stan, interestingly, it shows not many houses on the old map of Cloford so it must have always been a small village.

Hi,

If you go to www.gomezsmart.myzen.co.uk  you will find it is the site for the Hundred of Frome, which both Nunney and cloford are part of. You can also join via this site the companion site where there are loads of transcripts and other info. I know bthat there are several people on site with a keen interest in Nunney and Cloford. The companion site (yahoo) has some lovely photos of Cloford church, about 20 of them!

Sue,

Did you join the Yahoo group? That's where most of the transcripts are. It's a bind having to join but worth it. On the left of the home page of Yahoo group, click on FILES then click on whichever you want to look at. I know that under the heading of Frome Hundred there are transcripts for all the different villages. Peter is transcribing the early ones for Nunney at present and I believe from what he has said that they are a nightmare! I found a really early ancestor on it Jeffrey Coomb. Lovely.

all the best

Hi Maureen

Yes I did join the Yahoo groupa while back .  We are lucky that so much work has been done in and around Nunney, dont you think?  But as I say, I now need to do some digging to find out any new info and thanks for the directions, it certainly helps and save a lot of time.

All the best
