Four Forks, Spaxton

Four Forks in Spaxton is a settlement in the Quantocks, west of Bridgwater, Somerset. In the nineteenth century the Agapemone or "Abode of Love" was founded by Reverend Henry Prince, former curate of Charlynch, at Four Forks.[1]

In the early 20th century, a number of houses (some in the Arts and Crafts style) were built there by members of this religious cult, including Joseph Morris and his daughter Violet.[2]
