Welcome to the Seavington Web Museum
Welcome to the Seavington Web Museum which has links to the past, present and future of the parishes of Seavington St. Michael and Seavington St. Mary in South Somerset, England.
It is a collection point, historical record and digital archive, much of it created from material donated by residents and relatives of residents past and present.
It is hoped that more people will add to it as old and new experiences come to light. Click on a topic below to take a look.

PROGRESS TO DATE
Our team has been working hard creating the web-site and uploading all the many images that have been donated to the project.
We have captioned each image, and are in the process of adding any other details we have available. In addition, everything has been catalogued with a unique number.
Bearing in mind it is the holiday season – we hope to release these images to the web-site at the beginning of September.
Then we will be looking for your help to fill in some more of the details, once you have had a chance to have a good look at the images. Of course, we will expect you to point out any errors (not too many – we hope!). If sending comments to us, it would be very helpful if you would quote the six digit identity number included in the caption.
Not all our donors, particularly the older members of the community, have access to a computer and the Web Museum, so as soon as it is available, we hope that some of you will take the opportunity to show it to others, as they may have extra details to add.
You will notice that some images that have been donated may not be on the web-site initially, and this is because we still have some copyright issues to address. This applies particularly to the school photos, but once resolved these photos will be released to the web-site.
