About

Somerton ward encompasses the historic market town of Somerton, situated on the low-lying land between the River Cary and the Yeo valley. The area is primarily agricultural, with a landscape of fields and grazing pastures surrounding the town's core. The local economy has long been connected to farming and related trades, with the weekly market remaining a central fixture for the community.

The town's layout is focused around the Market Square and its distinctive octagonal market cross. Narrow streets lined with buildings of local limestone, including several thatched properties, extend from this central point. The Church of St Michael and All Angels, with its prominent spire, overlooks the town from its elevated position, reflecting Somerton's past significance as a former administrative centre of the county.
