About Fencing in Taunton
Taunton in Somerset was at the centre of one of the most turbulent episodes in English history in 1685, when the Duke of Monmouth was proclaimed king in the town during his ill fated rebellion against James II, and in the aftermath Judge Jeffreys held his notorious Bloody Assizes at Taunton Castle, sentencing many local supporters to death or transportation. The castle still stands today and now houses the Museum of Somerset. Our directory lists fencing suppliers and installers covering the TA1 postcode area.
