Welcome to Isle Abbotts
Isle Abbotts is located in South Somerset about 8 miles to the East of Taunton and 4 miles to the North of Ilminster. At the heart of the village lies the Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, dating back to the 13th Century with a magnificent tower added around 1510. Major restoration work took place in 2006 and the tower is now restored to its former glory.

I hope you like the new layout, I thought I should explain the reason for the changes. We have a number of villagers who only have internet access via a dial-up connection and for this group of users the website can be tediously slow to use. For example a dial up user wanting to view the 1851 census data they would need to view 3 web pages (each taking nearly 20 times as long to load than broad band user) before the census data is displayed. So the changes I am making will allow users to go directly from the Welcome page to any page on the web site with just one click.
The other advantage is that the welcome page is much less busy!
