About Fencing in Somerton
Somerton in Somerset is said to give the county its very name, believed to derive from Sumortun, meaning summer settlement, and the town briefly served as the county town in the medieval period before that role passed to Taunton. Its market place still features an octagonal market cross and a fine 17th century town hall, both reminders of Somerton's former importance as a centre of local administration and trade.
