New Road near Whitty Officially called New Road, this straight road (1 1/4m in length) was built in the late 1800's by the rector of Staple Fitzpaine to give him fast access to Bickenhall church (now Neroche Parish Hall). It forms part of the Taunton-Ilminster commuter route, and is a lethal piece of road at times!!
