The Weston Worthies
published by Pat Hase on Sat, 19/09/2020 - 23:57

A file which is an introduction to the Weston Worthies has been uploaded under Weston-super-Mare.  It lists the names of all the Worthies and if you have an interest in or a connection with any of them I should be pleased to hear from you as I am planning to produce a series of documents giving a profile of each of them perhaps showing why they became a Weston Worthy. Thank you.
