    Ilchester Facts – Did you know…

    1. Lindinis
      Originally called Lindinis, meaning ‘swampy lake’, the town was founded by the Romans where the Fosse Way (great Roman road) crossed the River Yeo.
    2. They’rrrre Great!
      After the Romans left it was abandoned for 5 centuries. Alfred the Great made it one of his ‘burghs’, establishing a royal mint and improving defences, to protect against the Vikings.
    3. Rebel Without Applause
      In 1087 local lord, Robert Mowbray led a rebellion against William the Conqueror. Mowbray lay siege to Ilchester… Which failed. And that was pretty much the end of Mowbray’s very brief rebellion.
    4. Big Time
      It became county town in the Middle Ages, housing the county court and jail. There was also a leper colony, nunnery, hospital, and a priory of Dominican friars preaching Christianity to the mostly pagan populace.
    5. Crime & Punishment
      Having been an important location, it went into decline in the 16th century but kept the county jail and held executions.
    6. Rebel Rebel
      After the failed Monmouth Rebellion, 12 men were hanged in the square as an warning to others.
    7. Not Civil
      The town and its bridge were strategically important during the English Civil War, several skirmishes took place here. King Charles stayed overnight and garrisoned the town.
    8. Treason Season
      In 1765 Mary Norwood, was burnt at the stake for ‘petty treason’. Guilty of murdering her husband, this was considered ‘petty treason’, as legally man ruled the household the way the King ruled the country, so any crime against a husband (and status quo) was seen as a crime against the State.
