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.

    DeDicattons of tfte Cfjutcbcs of ©ometsetsftire. BY THE KEY. E. H. BATES, M.A HE late Mr. W illiam Long contributed to the seventeenth “L volume of the Proceedings in 1871 a classified list of the Church Dedications given by Ecton in his Thesaurus Rerum Ecclesiasticarum, 1742. As Editor of the Bath and Wells Diocesan Kalendar my attention has been frequently drawn, from my own knowledge as well as by numerous correspon- dents, to the many errors and gaps in that list. It became plainly necessary to go behind the Thesaurus to the original sources of information. And here I may be allowed to repro- duce what I have already stated in the preface to the Kalendar for 1905. It should be clearly understood that there is no authoritative list in existence. Among the Public Becords are two works known as Pope Nicholas’ Taxatio of 1291, and the Valor Ec- clesiasticus of 27 Henry VIII (1536), containing the names of all parishes in England and Wales. These were primarily drawn up to ascertain the value of the benefices, and only in- cidentally, as in the case of towms with many churches, are the dedications added. The latter work, to which the title of V^ahr Ecclesiasticus or Liber Regis is generally given, was first printed in 1711 by J ohn Ecton. His preface contains a very interesting account of the early work of the Queen Anne’s Bounty Fund, of which he was Receiver, and of the serious state of affairs in the large towns which led to its foundation.

  • East Coker Monarch's Way Walk

    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. Follow the tarmac road round to the left and right onto a footpath and turn left onto the road towards a large old building (East Coker Mill) . 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. This follows a red brick wall and then joins a track adjoining North Coker House to the right. This walled garden supplied all the needs of the house in fruit and vegetables until North Coker House was converted into apartments.

    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.
