"PHOTOS BY: LIZ JONES, ENGLAND"
The beautiful Photos of Old Cleeve and Dunster, Somerset, England were provided by; Liz Jones of England. We hope you enjoy Liz's wonderful photo tour. Philip and Charity Slocombe and son Giles were part of the History of Old Cleeve, Somerset, England. The earliest record I have found to date (1308) of a Slocombe was in the area of Dunster and Dunster Castle in Somerset, England. A John de Slocombe stood witness for The Thomas Le Palmere of Dunster.
Many thanks to Liz Jones for her lovely pictures she has shared with our family.
