This Unique Photo Resource can be viewed at http://somersetvillages.tripod.com/album.htm
This photographic project has now covered well in excess of 260 of Somerset's villages, including many views of and inside the many churches found in most parishes. Many other important buildings such as rectories/vicarages, crosses, pubs/Inns, post offices, farms, shops, schools, etc, are featured.
If you live outside the UK, have ancestors from Somerset, but have no prospect of ever visiting, then this is the place for you to explore.
This is NOT a commercial site. This has been an amateur historian/photographers project for the last 2 years or so, and is still ongoing, and it's completely free to view. As there is no external funding, unfortunately all photos have to be displayed as thumbnail views. Full size images though, are available to anyone carrying out genuine family history research. Enjoy!
