The Somerset Heritage Centre is another source of useful mapping, through their Heritage Environment Record. The site can be found HERE Search 'Stoke St Gregory', click on any of the results and then 'Find on Map'. You should then have a zoomable map which can be changed from the 1840 Tithe Map, through the various OS series, to modern day mapping and aerial photoraphy.

Aerial Photographs

Imagine this picture in 1900. No Huntham Close or Church Close. No houses along Willey Road. No wonder the 19th Century description of the village was one of "the hamlets of Huntham, Meare Green, Curload, Woodhill, and Stathe, with a few houses scattered about the church".
