East Coker parish lies south of Yeovil and is primarily rural. The land comprises a mix of arable and mid-scale fields (a significant proportion being grade I), within an ordered hedgerow pattern threaded by narrow, part-sunken roads. To the south-west it rises to the scarp of Coker Hill. The parish contains much wildlife interest including Coker stream and a number of semi- rural woodland sites. Parkland and domestic tree cover are a marked feature of the area. The parish contains the settlements of Burton, East Coker, Nash, North Coker and a small part of urban Yeovil. The character of the parish is particularly unspolit, with a high proportion of listed golden hamstone houses, and its street scene enhanced by fine mature trees. It was once famous for its sailcloth and is the birthplace of the explorer William Dampier who was navigator aboard the ship that rescued Alexander Selkirk on whom the story of Robinson Crusoe is based. St. Michael's church, which contains a fine memorial brass to Dampier, is also the resting place for the ashes of the poet T.

  • East Coker Monarch's Way Walk
    East Coker Monarch’s Way Walk For nearly half of its length this walk (3.9 miles, 6.3 km) follows the long distance path known as Monarch’s Way. It returns round the northern area of the parish, passing one of the oldest properties in the area. It is marked in Dark Blue on the Discover East Coker map and walkers should refer to OS Explorer Map 129 for more detail. Countryside paths can be muddy at times and waterproof footwear is advised. Park considerately and start at the Village Hall (Grid Ref. ST537128) From the Village Hall turn right into Halves Lane and immediately right into Drakes Meadow.

Before the Mill, turn right onto the footpath signposted Chapel Row 1/6 mile over a stile. Follow the right of the field to the rear of Mill Close gardens. The Pavilion and playing fields are to the left. At the next stile, turn right past Chapel Row on Long Furlong Lane. This building originally housed the East Coker Workhouse. At the T junction, turn sharp left into Burton. After the row of cottages, take the kissing gate on the right signposted Naish Priory 3/4 mile.

  • East Coker Parish Ward Profile
    Brympton Parish Profile 2016 1 Introduction Brympton Parish Council lies north west of Yeovil town centre. In 1870 – 72, John Marius Wilson’s Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Brympton like this:- “BRIMPTON, a parish in Yeovil district, Somerset; adjacent to the Yeovil and Exeter railway, 2 miles W by S of Yeovil. It includes the hamlets of Alvington and Houndstone; and its post town is Yeovil. Acres 465. Real property, with Hestcome, £3,014. Pop 135. Houses 24. The property is much subdivided. The manor once belonged to the Sydenhams; and Brimpton House now belongs to the Earl of Westmoreland. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Bath and Wells. Value £170* Patron, Mrs E Morris. The church is good.” In the last published census figures of 2011, there was a population in Brympton of 7,308 and the number of dwellings are 3,078. There is currently a large housing development being built at Lufton (696 dwellings). Brympton also plays a significant role economically with 297 businesses registered in the parish as at 1st October 2016. The parish is also fortunate to have the privately owned Brympton D’Evercy estate in their area. This is mainly used for a wedding and reception venue. The house dates from 1350. Over the last few years, Dr James Gerrard, School of History, Classics and Archaeology of Newcastle University has been carrying out excavations Lufton, which have revealed occupation from the Iron Age to the Medieval periods. The most recent excavations suggest that there was a substantial third century building that was replaced by a villa in the fourth century.

  • South Somerset District Council Local Plan Review
    South Somerset District Council Local Plan Review The Potential for Rural Settlements to be Designated ‘Villages’ November 2018 Contents Page 1 Introduction 1 2 Context 1 3 Methodology 3 4 Settlement Appraisal 13 5 Conclusions 23 Appendix 1 - Complete list of Rural Settlements in the District subject to this Appraisal 24 Appendix 2 - Settlement Maps; Constraints and Community Service Locations 25 Appendix 3 – Location Map of Settlements 58 1. Introduction 1.1 This paper considers the suitability of the District’s many Rural Settlements for growth. The current Local Plan does not allocate housing and employment to specific villages, seeking to direct most development to Yeovil, the Market Towns and Rural Centres. However, new housing has been delivered in the Rural Settlements far in excess of what the Local Plan anticipated; and similarly, new commercial buildings have, in the main, been provided away from the established employment locations and sites allocated for that purpose. Rather than continue with this somewhat arbitrary situation, the Review of the Local Plan offers the opportunity to look again at the various smaller settlements around the District to ascertain which might offer the best and most sustainable locations for limited growth and possible designation as ‘Villages’. 1.2 The Review of the Local Plan has also resulted in the potential removal of the role of ‘Rural Centre’ from Stoke sub Hamdon. This is because the settlement has many constraints and the number of commercial outlets in the centre is relatively restricted. It could instead be designated a ‘Village’ in recognition of its size and numbers of other facilities relative to the remaining Rural Settlements.
