The author of both Notes supplements information on the rectors of Talaton presented by the Editors in earlier sections of volume VII.  St James the Great is a small Norman church, on the site since the 12th.century. Most of the present building dates from the early part of the 15th.century. Its original font now stands in the church and dates from 1170. Talaton is a pretty village well off the beaten track and surrounded by beautiful rural countryside.  The article, from a copy of a rare and much sought-after journal can be downloaded from the Internet Archive.
