Due to population movement and concentration on places such as Weston-super-Mare, Clevedon and Nailsea, some of the above parishes were subsequently split to form new parishes.
The following new parishes were formed:
Chelvey; Christon; Felton; Hewish St Anne; Pill and Walton-in-Gordano.
Whilst the following parishes were also split as shown:
Clevedon into All Saints; Christ Church & St Andrew.
Nailsea into Christ Church & Holy Trinity.
Walton-in-Gordano into St Mary & St Paul.
Weston-super-Mare into All Saints; Christ Church; Emmanuel; Good Shepherd; Holy Trinity; St John; St Paul & St Saviour.
It should be noted that the original parish of Nempnet Thrubwell is now in the area controlled by Bath & North East somerset Council.
The Society has also transcribed records for parishes adjoining our basic area such as Clutton and Weare.
