Ever wondered where in Somerset would be a place to settle? Once an "outpost" of Burnham and supposed burial site of of the saxon Queen Edith, although there is nothing yet come to light to prove it. Its approach from Burnham has now been effectively bisected to provide a link road to the M5 Motorway, but it still retains its little missionary church and most of the present housing (if not all?) has replaced the earlier 18th century country dwellings.
