  Hi everyone,

  I searched a2a (Access to Archives - well worth a look) and found:

  =20

  Dr. J. Westover's Journal

  Creation dates: 1685-1700
  1 volume=20

  Scope and Content=20

  Giving medical accounts, case histories of his patients, and a daily =
diary with details of the management of his farm and estate

  =20

  Miscellaneous documents concerning Dr. John Westover of Wedmore

  Creation dates: 1922-1969
  1 bundle=20

  Scope and Content=20

  Including The Growth of the General Practitioner of Medicine in =
England, 1922, John Westover of Wedmore, 1923, both by Norman Gerald =
Homer; a catalogue of an Exhibition of Medical Records, held in the =
Library of the Royal College of Physicians of London, 1958; copy of the =
Bristol Week-End, 14th October, 1964, featuring an article about =
Westovers, Wedmore, built in 1680 by Dr. J. Westover; and A 17th Century =
Country Doctor: John Westover of Wedmore by Frances Neale, reprinted =
from The Practitioner, November, 1969

  so it would seem that Dr Westovers Journal is in the Somerset =
Archives, along with some other intriguing documents.
