 The 1794 map map shows the part of Red Hill that was in Chewton Mendip but the site of Red Hill Farm is blank because it was, and is, in Emborough.

 The 1766 ledger shows that the Scutt family held land near Binigar that may have been the property in plot 890 that appears to be marooned in the blank space. The 18th century poor book make reference to the Scutts paying rates in East End but some of the earlier records in the churchwarden account may refer to Scuts Hill in the Town tithing.

 The 1840 map also shows there was cottages on the opposite side of the road that was occupied by Joseph Huish.

Red Hill Farm is in Embororough but part of Red Hill is in Chewton Mendip and so properties classed as being in the East End may physically be on Red Hill. It takes its name from the colour of the soil which provides a clue to the minerals in the area. There used to be a calamine quarry or mine behind Red hill Farm and Swallow Pits Farm.
The house on the right is on a cross roads between Red Hill Farm and Shooters Bottom in one direction and Double Farm and Emborough in the other direction. Warhams is next to this cottage in the direction of Emborough and Binigar.
Warehams probably got its name from a family called Wareham who were living here in the Victorian era according to the school registers.
