About Fencing in Martock
Martock in Somerset appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 under the name Mertoch, and the village grew up as a place of golden glowing stone thanks to its proximity to Ham Hill, whose honey coloured sedimentary limestone has been quarried since Roman times and used in buildings across Somerset, Dorset and Devon. The Treasurer's House, a medieval priest's house built from this hamstone in the 13th century, survives as the second oldest inhabited house in the county, and All Saints Church, also dating from the 13th century, is thought to be the second largest church in Somerset, having originally served as an abbey church for the monks of Mont St Michel in Normandy. During the medieval period, stone quarried at Ham Hill was carried to Martock by horse and cart before being loaded onto boats on the River Parrett bound for Taunton and beyond.
