  • Creech St Michael Sure Start Children's Centre Areas
    Issued: 13 July 2010 Community Profile: Creech St Michael Sure Start Children's Centre Areas This area profile pulls together a range of information about the Creech St Michael area and the people who live there. no map available Creech St Michael area comprises the wards of North Curry & Stoke St. Gregory, Ruishton & Creech, and West Monkton. The population of 11,834 lives in area of 7,849 hectares resulting in a population density of 1.5 per hectare, in line with Somerset as a whole. There are 4,572 households. Positioned on the outer fringes of Taunton, the Creech St Michael area has the M5, A38, A358, A3259 and A361 passing through it, which is probably a factor in the high rate of road casualties here. The area also experiences greater problems of accessibility to housing and services than might be expected. However, residents are extremely satisfied with where they live. Educational achievement, access to private vehicles, mortality rates and JSA claimant rates are all favourable in comparison with Somerset as a whole. A separate User Guide contains a detailed description of the statistics. - 1 - Creech St Michael People and Place Although Creech St Michael’s population profile is fairly typical of Somerset it shows a slightly lower proportion in the age groups 20-34, and marginally higher proportions of women in their forties and sixties. Population combined by age and sex Source: NHS (Jan 2010) A separate User Guide contains a detailed description of the statistics. - 2 - Creech St Michael People and Place (continued) Fewer than one in forty people are not classified as White British, slightly below the county rate.

  • A History of St. Michael's Church
    A history of St. Michael’s Church Creech St. Michael St. Michael's Church in Creech St. Michael The ancient church of St. Michael stands above the flood plain of the River Tone, in the village of Creech St. Michael near Taunton in Somerset. The church has been standing on this site since at least the 13th century, not only experiencing, but also reflecting, the changes of over 700 years. In 2013 the village of Creech St. Michael is growing fast with on-going new development. It sits just 2 miles from junction 25 of the M5 and 3 miles east from the county town of Taunton. It boasts a number of local industries and a range of facilities. As it stands now the church building presents perhaps an unpretentious and unassuming vista on the edge of the village. In the 14th century it would have dominated the area and played a central role in village life. The early history of the village of Creech St. Michael is uncertain. It is likely that the name comes from the Old English “Muchel Critch” meaning “large creek” (differentiating this village from Little Creech near West Hatch). This seems to be partially confirmed by the fact that the church was dedicated to “All Saints” until at least 1532. It is thought that the title of “St. Michael” is possibly a later corruption of “Muchel”, from the Saxon word for “great” or “large” (this had happened by 1742). What is certain is that Creech St. Michael was a thriving village under the name of Critch or Muchel Critch in the 11th century when William 1 (the Conqueror) commissioned the Domesday Book.
