Claverham is a small village located just off the A370, half way between Bristol and Weston super Mare, Somerset, in
the UK.
Claverham is probably named after the clover fields which surrounded the village. In the West Country, the word 'ham' does not
refer to a village or settlement, but is a contraction of the word 'hamm' meaning meadow.
The village is situated roughly half way between Weston-super-Mare and Bristol on the plain between the rivers Kenn, to the
north, and Yeo to the south. Claverham is around five miles from the Bristol Channel as the crow flies.

Facebook won’t get it repaired!

UPDATE! 04/03/2025
[Extracted from FB post from Sadik Al-Hassan (MP for North
Somerset)
“Thanks to a concerted effort of residents, councillors, MPs and
Government this ridiculous idea of flooding part of the constituency
has been called off.
▪️a new type of Acoustic Fish Deterrent will be used ▪️Saltmarsh work will be paused ▪️S172 rights will end 31st March This is good news but note that it is a "pause" so we will need to keep an eye on updates.” See also: EDF’s websiteThis is a “pause” so EDF’s plans still need to be monitored
to ensure that this issue is not resurrected!.
