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.
