Winsford village, on Exmoor is one of the prettiest and unspoilt of settlements, Steeped in history and mentioned in the Domesday book which was finished in 1085. Recorded details show that there were 41 villagers, smallholders numbered 34 and even 9 slaves, this lush valley could support 64 ploughs, a mill, a large meadow & pasture for 52 sheep and 40 acres of woodland.

Many aspects of this ancient village are still present, for instance in 1327 under the reign of Edward III, the tax records show that many names of farms in the village parish have remained almost unchanged, for instance; Nethercote, Staddon, Bradley, Halse, Upcott and Knaplock.
