Despite its sleepy seaside facade, Weston has been home to many distinguished individuals.
Throughout the town, 20 blue plaques have been placed to commemorate some of the famous historical figures with links to Weston.
Weston Town Council, alongside Weston Civic Society, installed four plaques across the town last year and also built a new website which has an audio and map tour of all the locations.
