Flower Delivery to Whitelackington with Clare Florist

The village of Whitelackington is located in Somerset, which is a county in England. It is also a civil parish that includes the hamlets of Ashwell and Atherstone, and also Dillington Park. The name “Whitelackington” comes from Old English words that mean “estate, village.” In the year 1127, the village was first recorded under the name Witelecintone. This is the oldest record of the village that has been found. According to a 2011 census, the village only had 209 people in it. This makes it about as small as a hamlet, even though it is still called a village.

    One of the most notable features in the village is the Church of St. Mary the Virgin. It was constructed sometime during the 14th century and was made primarily out of hamstone. When you step inside the church you can still see the 14th century interior fittings, including the piscina that still lies in the north transept. In the south transept, there are two defaced monuments. One is of a civilian from the year 1350 and the other is an armoured knight from 1375. The church also contains the tomb of Sir George Speke, who died in 1583.

    For a long time, Whitelackington was governed by the Chard Rural District. But under the Local Government Act of 1972, a new district called the Non-metropolitan District of South Somerset was created in 1974. Once this happened, Whitelackington began being governed by this district council instead. They are the ones responsible for building control, local planning, markets, fairs, environmental health, council housing, recycling, tourism and many other things. Somerset County Council provides more important social services to the village such as education, libraries, public transportation, fire services, police services and public roads.
