About Fencing in Wincanton

Wincanton in Somerset first appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Wincaleton, and a market charter granted to the Lord of the Manor in 1235 helped the settlement grow into a flourishing town by the mid 14th century, with two annual fairs added from 1556. The 18th century brought prosperity through woollen cloth making, clock making and pottery, and Wincanton's position on the stagecoach route between London and Exeter kept it busy with passing traffic, though the town's history was not without hardship, including devastation from plague in 1553 and a fire in 1707 that destroyed nearly fifty houses.
