    Ilminster Facts – Did you know…

    1. Big Time
      At one time Ilminster was the 4th largest town in Somerset due to its thriving cloth industry. The town’s name came from its original ‘minster’ or church.
    2. Up Market
      A market charter was granted in the 11th century and the market is still going strong today. The town also held a regular horse market. The town was so prosperous it caught the attention of the King…
    3. Peculiar
      Unlike most market towns, taxed and answerable to the church, Ilminster was a ‘Royal Peculiar’ meaning it paid its taxes to and was protected by, the King.
    4. The Swan
      Now a shop, the Swan was once a public house, posthouse and even acted as the town’s courtroom.
    5. Carnival
      The biggest party of the year takes place in September with parades, floats and street entertainment. And of course, cider! Well, this is Somerset.
    6. No Very Civil
      The town’s bridges and who controlled them made it strategically important during the English Civil War, which lead to a number of skirmishes.
    7. Rebel Yell
      Like many towns in the region, it was also court up in the failed Monmouth Rebellion. A number of local men, who had sided with the Duke of Monmouth, were executed in the town square as a warning to others.
