Flower Delivery to Downhead with Clare Florist

The village of Downhead is a civil parish located in Somerset County, England. Downhead is just 5 miles away from the market town of Shepton Mallet and very close to the village of Leigh-on-Mendip. The earliest settlement found in the village is that of a medieval settlement called Tadhill. There is also a hill fort enclosure from the Iron Age just southwest of the village. As for the name of the village, it was originally recorded in 1196 with the name “Dunehevede,” which means “top of the down.” The manor of the village was given to Glastonbury Abbey by the ruler at the time, King Ethelwulf of Wessex. Then during the 1700s, the manor was owned by the Portmans of Orchard Portman. Eventually, the village fell under the jurisdiction of the district of Mendip, which occurred in 1974 under the Local Government Act of 1972.

The All Saints Parish Church is an important building in the village, since it is a civil parish. The church has had so many renovations within the last 1000 years. Its large tower was built in the 14th century and its chancel and nave was built in the 18th century. The parish council governs much of the village. They are responsible for all its local issues, such as neighbourhood watches and crime prevention. They also help improve highways, footpaths, street cleaning, drainage and so forth.
