More about Taunton Somerset
Taunton is the county town of Somerset, England. The
town name derives from Town on the River Tone — or Tone
Town. It still holds a weekly market. Taunton parish has
a population of 44,050. Suburbs of the town include
Cotford St Luke, Norton Fitzwarren, Bishops Hull and
Staplegrove, giving a total population for the "Taunton
Urban Area" of 58,241 according to the 2001 census, up
4.3% since 1991.
Twinned with the French town of Lisieux.
There was perhaps a Romano-British village near the
suburb of Holway, and Taunton was a place of
considerable importance in Saxon times. King Ine of
Wessex threw up an earthen castle here about 700, and a
monastery was founded before 904. The bishops of
Winchester owned the manor, and obtained the first
charter for their "men of Taunton" from King Edward in
904, freeing them from all royal and county tribute.
At some time before the Domesday Survey Taunton had
become a borough with very considerable privileges,
governed by a portreeve appointed by the bishops. It did
not obtain a charter of incorporation until that of
1627, which was renewed in 1677.
The corporation existed until 1792, when the charter
lapsed owing to vacancies in the number of the corporate
body, and Taunton was not reincorporated until 1877. The
medieval fairs and markets of Taunton were celebrated
for the sale of woollen cloth called "Tauntons" made in
the town. On the decline of the west of England woollen
industry, silk-weaving was introduced at the end of the
18th century. From the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica
In the autumn of 1685 Judge Jeffreys was based in
Taunton during the Bloody Assizes that followed the
Battle of Sedgemoor.
In World War II the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal formed
part of the Taunton Stop Line, designed to prevent the
advance of a German invasion. Pillboxes can still be
seen along its length.
Taunton plays a role in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy by Douglas Adams and is also mentioned in The
Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. It is mentioned in
"Scoop. A Novel about Journalists" by Evelyn Waugh
(1938). Taunton has also made an appearance in a number
of other British comedy series, including Monty Python's
Flying Circus, Blackadder, Men Behaving Badly, Vic
Reeves Big Night Out, and also The Smell of Reeves and
Mortimer.
