Wedmore is known as The Isle of Wedmore as it used to be surrounded by water just like it was in the summer of 2012. It used to claim that Paul Francis Gadd aka Gary Glitter lived there although I do not think they acknowldge it now for obvious reasons. It was close to Athelney and Muchelney Abbey's lost to Henry V111.

Hawkins is a very popular name in Somerset. In my village of Shepton Beauchamp there are many of them.
