Yeovil is a busy market town with a
history that can be traced back as far as the Bronze
Age. Plenty of Roman remains have certainly been
discovered in the area, including coins and pottery,
especially around the site the old Roman road.
However, more is known about its later
history, including its thriving time during the 14th
century, when it was an important producer of leather
gloves and had many tanneries. Later it became best
known for its flax that was then spun and woven into
fabric for making sails.
The area now boasts great modern
leisure facilities including the Octagon
and Swan theatres and the popular Goldenstones Pool and
Leisure Centre. There’s also a dry ski slope, an arts
centre and a multi-screen cinema, making Yeovil a great
place to live and work. Whilst in contrast the
surrounding area, especially to the south of the region,
is mainly made up of scenic farmland and orchards, much
of which are dedicated to the growing of apples that are
then made into locally brewed cider.
A site not to be missed in
Yeovil is the town’s stunning St John’s church that is a
very early example of Perpendicular Gothic architecture. The
church has many interesting features including a copper
lectern and depictions of African masks dating to the
Crusades.
