Huntspill

Huntspill is a village on the Huntspill Level in Somerset, England. It lies on the A38 road, south of Highbridge. The village is the principal settlement in the civil parish of West Huntspill, which also contains the hamlet of Alstone.
The parish of West Huntspill has a population of 1,414.〔
==History==

The first mention of Huntspill is around 796 AD, when the area was granted to Glastonbury Abbey by Aethelmund, a nobleman
under King Offa of Mercia.
Huntspill was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as ''Honspil'', meaning 'Huna's creek' possibly from the Old English personal name ''Huna'' and from the Celtic ''pwll'' as used in Welsh, e.g. Pwllheli. An alternative origin is from ''Hun's Pill'' in Old English, meaning a port on a tidal inlet, or ''pill'', belonging to a Saxon lord, or ''hun''.
The parish of Huntspill was part of the Huntspill and Puriton Hundred,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Miscellaneous/ )
The mouth of the River Brue had an extensive harbour in Roman and Saxon times, before silting up in the medieval period. A new wharf, known as Clyce Wharf, was built on the Huntspill side of the river mouth by 1904, and was used for the import of coal and the export of bricks and tiles and agricultural products. The wharf closed in 1949.〔
The village was flooded in the Bristol Channel floods of 1607.
In 1936 the village was the centre of an outbreak of Typhoid fever in which seven people died.
The ancient parish of Huntspill also included the villages of East Huntspill, Hackness and Bason Bridge, east of the village of Huntspill. The western boundary of the parish was the tidal River Parrett, but changes in the course of the river left some parts of the parish on the west side of the river until 1933, when they were transferred to the civil parish of Otterhampton. In 1885 the uninhabited Stert Island in Bridgwater Bay was transferred from the parish of Stogursey to Huntspill, but the island was also transferred to Otterhampton in 1933.
In 1949 the civil parish of Huntspill was abolished and divided into the civil parishes of West Huntspill and Huntspill All Saints (renamed East Huntspill in 1972) along the line of the Bristol and Exeter Railway.〔(Vision of Britain website )〕
