| Some interesting stuff about Taunton. Taunton is the county town of Somerset, England. Taunton civil parish has a population of 44,050. Suburbs of the town include Bishop's Hull, Staplegrove and Galmington, giving a total population for the "Taunton Urban Area" of 58,241 according to the 2001 census, up 4.4% since 1991. It is the largest town in Somerset (est. 60,000 inhabitants in 2006) and is its administrative capital. The town is home to Somerset County Museum and the County Cricket Ground where Somerset County Cricket Club play. It is part of the annual West Country Carnival circuit. It hosts the famous Taunton Flower Show that has been held in Vivary Park since 1866. The United Kingdom Hydrographic Office is located in Taunton on Admiralty Way. The Almshouses along East Street, an attractive row of 17th century dwellings, are still occupied. The Taunton Castle area of town includes the Somerset County Museum and The Castle Hotel both on the grounds of the former Taunton Castle and together with the municipal buildings, form an attractive three-sided group of buildings just beyond an archway off Fore Street. Though the effect is spoilt somewhat by the centre of this square being used as a car park, and the huge plain brick edifice of a bingo hall making up the west side of it. The Mary Street Unitarian Chapel, located on Mary Street in Taunton has an interesting history. In the later part of the 17th century, Taunton had two dissenting places of worship: "Paul’s Meeting" and the Baptist Meeting. Paul’s Meeting was built at the top of Paul Street soon after 1672 on part of a bowling green behind the Three Cups Inn, now The County Hotel, and rapidly became one of the largest congregations in the county. After Mayor Timewell sacked both Paul’s Meeting and the Baptist Meeting in 1683, the dissenters were driven to worship in private houses on the outskirts of Taunton, where their assemblies were regularly raided by the Justices. Paul’s Meeting survived attempts to turn it into a workhouse and, with the coming of William and Mary, followed by the Toleration Act of 1689, was reopened. The Baptist Meeting became the Baptist New Meeting was registered in 1691 and rebuilt in 1721 as Mary Street Chapel. Since the 18th century, the congregation of Mary Street Chapel has been Unitarian. Known associations of Mary Street Unitarian Chapel include the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. While Coleridge was living at Nether Stowey (16 miles away from Taunton), Coleridge came to the chapel to preach on several occasions. The minister at the time was Dr. Joshua Toulmin, who was unable to take services because he was grieving for the loss of his daughter who had been drowned on April 15th, 1798. Wesley also preached in the chapel on two or three occasions when wet weather drove him and his followers indoors. Another notable is Dr. Malachi Blake, who founded the Taunton and Somerset Hospital in East Reach, Taunton, in 1809 in celebration of the fiftieth year of George the Third's reign. Mary Street Unitarian Chapel still has the original interior including Flemish oak pillars in the Corinthian style. The pews and pulpit are also in oak, and there also is an early 18th century candelabra. The Parish church of St. Mary Magdalene, built of sandstone more in the South Somerset style, preserves an attractive painted interior, but its most notable aspect is its 15th/16th century tower (rebuilt in the mid-19th century), which is one of the best examples in the country and a highly visible landmark. It was described by Simon Jenkins, an acknowledged authority on English churches, as “the finest in England. It makes its peace with the sky not just with a coronet but with the entire crown jewels cast in red-brown stone.” The tower itself has 12 bells and a clock mechanism. Unfortunately, two of the hammers on the clock mechanism are not striking at the present time. The area by the river suffers from a disappointing lack of development, with supermarkets and car parks predominating. It is hoped that the forthcoming development of the County Cricket Ground will render this part of town, with its attractive setting and outstanding potential, livelier and more illustrious. (Such potential was recently demonstrated by the hosting of a concert by Elton John). |
| Some interesting stuff about Somerset. Somerton took over from Ilchester as the county town in the late thirteenth century, but it declined in importance and the status of county town transferred to Taunton about 1366. The county has two cities, Bath and Wells, and only a small number of towns. In many cases there are villages which are larger than their neighbouring towns; the village of Cheddar, for example, has three times the population of the nearby town of Axbridge. Many settlements developed because of their strategic importance in relation to geographical features, such as river crossings or valleys in ranges of hills. Examples include Axbridge on the River Axe, Castle Cary on the River Cary, North Petherton on the River Parrett, and Ilminster, where there was a crossing point on the River Isle. Midsomer Norton lies on the River Somer; while the Wellow Brook and the Fosseway Roman road run through Radstock, which, along with Midsomer Norton, is now designated as apart of Norton Radstock. Chard is the most southerly town in Somerset, and at an altitude of 397 ft (121 m) it is also the highest.Text from http://en.wikipedia.org ...We cannot accept responsibility for any errors show in the above text about Taunton. |
