Manorial and Older Records Seminar

Ruishton Village Hall, Cheats Rd, Ruishton, Taunton, Somerset TA3 5JN

09:30am for 10:00am on Saturday 24th October 2015

We’ve once again booked this convenient venue, close to Taunton and the M5 motorway, and selected an earlier date in the hope that travel there will be easier.

The programme will include manorial documents, with a specialist from The National Archives on what is available nationally, and local specialists on local records of interest.
