We have just been advised that the Know Your Place Exhibition closing date has changed and will now finish on 1st April pm.

Oh, crikey...thanks for info...

Sorry should have checked - Axbridge Archaeological and Local History Society probably seem your best bet - they actually say their archives are for Axbridge and surrounding area including Compton Bishop. Their contact is Elizabeth Friend email: friend.elizabeth @gmail.com. I hate to see research and archives lost !

I have found in the past the  Society of Genealogists very good at taking in research - even village local research.

Have you tried a local history society  - Rooksbridge/ East Brent ?

Also there are several examples of Parish Councils in North Somerset keeping such archives-  the history can sometimes help village arguments !

I might have some questions for you - way back I have family in the Compton area. 

Sadly both the Heritage Centre and local library said they were not accepting local research on the grounds of lack of space.
