    1. The Birth of Somerset
      Known as ‘the Ancient and Royal Town of Wessex’, Somerton was once the capital of the Kings of Wessex. During the 13th and 14th centuries it was the first county town of Somerset and gave its name to the county.
    2. Oliver’s Army
      In 1423 the local power was Sir Ralph Cromwell. Sir Ralph was the grandfather of Oliver Cromwell, leader of the parliamentarian army and opposer in chief of King Charles II during the English Civil War.
    3. Gloves Are Off
      Originally an important agricultural trading town, in the 1800’s the largest industry was glove making. It then became a centre for rope and twine, supplying local boats and the Royal Navy. Somerton Brewery opened in 1841.
    4. Cow & Gate
      During WWII 4 bombs fell on Somerton, aimed at the Cow & Gate factory. The bombs destroyed 10 houses, killing 9 people.

      The Buttercross in the centre of the market square, gives a hint to the town’s dairy farming roots. The market dates back to the Middle Ages and is still running to this day.

    The town grew in importance and eventually became the seat of regional power and capital of the Kingdom of Wessex.
