| An east-west route became prominent in the 18th century when the road from Wiveliscombe through Langley Marsh to the Watchet-Bampton road, entering Huish at Washbattle (formerly Maundown) bridge and passing through the village, was turnpiked in 1786. A new road across Huish moor was created in 1843 as part of the inclosure. | ||||
