Bradford on Tone is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated on the River Tone 4 miles (6.4 km) south west of Taunton in the Taunton Deane district. The parish, which includes Tone Green, has a population of 622.
The village is centred on the meeting of three roads: two of these come from the A38, the main road between the towns of Taunton and Wellington, while the third leads north to the nearby village of Oake. Around this junction are situated the local pub, The White Horse, a war memorial, the Church of St Giles, the Village Hall and some older residential buildings.
The name Bradford is undoubtedly English: it shows the village to have stood in Saxon days near a broad ford, or passageway across the River Tone. The parish of Bradford was part of the Taunton Deane Hundred. The 14th-century Bradford Bridge over the Tone is said to have been 'built by the monks', though it is not known which particular monks did the work.
In the 1830s the Grand Western Canal was under construction and included a bridge at Trefusis Farm.

I knew also our branch
of the family had armorial hearings. as my father and uncles used
them on their writing material and elsewhere. and on reference to
hooks on the subject. I found these arms were granted in 1663 in
the reign of Charles II. but to whom I have never been able to
discover, although the services of an expert lawyer were engaged
on such items in I.ondon. He informed me that the records of
those years have been lost, and no trace can be found of my
ancestor the grantee. This is another source of connecting or
tracing families. viz.. through armorial grants. and the usage of
coats of arms among families of similar names.CHR:
