About

Martock ward encompasses the historic market town of Martock itself, along with the nearby village of Hurst and surrounding rural farmland. The area is centred on the River Parrett, with its landscape characterised by level, productive agricultural land typical of the Somerset Levels. The local economy has traditional ties to farming, cider production, and related rural industries, with the town serving as a commercial hub for the surrounding parishes.

The town's focal point is its medieval parish church of All Saints, noted for its large, perpendicular-style tower. A distinctive feature is the Treasurer's House, a fine medieval stone manor with an ornate timber-framed hall. Weekly markets continue to be held, reflecting the settlement's long-standing role in the area. The ward's settlements are connected by a network of narrow lanes, with newer housing developments extending from the historic cores.
