[WED]Heath House

[Lyn Nunn]

If it is of any use Tealham Moor was enclosed in 1785 and Tadham Moor in
1788  and I have a list of the Awards in Tadham, Yeel and Mudgley Moors but
they are not separated. Source is "Wedmore's Moors and the Enclosure Acts of
the 18th Century" Cuthbert Arthur Rose.

regards

Lyn
