Much obliged. Will try and pop in next time I am on the M5. My bro has a place in Dartmouth, so pass Taunton a couple of times a year.

No, that will be fine Peter, I'm sure. (You did say it wasn't too hard to find).
Thanks for the hotel link admin, but that won't be necessary for me at least.

Thanks Admin. I will aim to make a point of visiting Dawes's grave next time I am passing Taunton, but I won't need to stay over at the hotel.
