J.O. Lewis made notes from St John's rate books for 1679-1703. What follows is transcribed from these and not the original Churchwardens' Accounts, which are in Somerset Record Office and in poor condition. Lewis's notes are difficult to read in some places and, because land was usually known by the name of previous owners, it is not always clear whether an entry denotes a ratepayer or property. I have capitalised what appear to be surnames, including where these are used as names of properties.
