Taunton (UK Parliament constituency) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Taunton (UK Parliament constituency)
Taunton was a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom and its predecessors from 1295 to 2010, taking its name from the town of Taunton in Somerset. Until 1918, it was a parliamentary borough, electing two Member of Parliaments (MPs) between 1295 and 1885 and one from 1885 to 1918; the name was then transferred to a county constituency, electing one MP. In the boundary changes that came into effect at the general election of 2010, the Boundary Commission for England replaced Taunton with a modified constituency called Taunton Deane, to reflect the district name. ==Boundaries== Taunton borough (to 1918): The borough consisted of the town of Taunton, Somerset. Until 1832, it retained the medieval boundaries, which included only part of the parish of St Mary Magdalene, Taunton, but the boundary act extended it to take in more of the town, including parts of Taunton St James, Wilton, West Monkton and Bishop's Hull parishes, which more than doubled its population. Taunton county constituency (1918–2010): The county constituency created in 1918 effectively combined the borough with the southern part of the existing West Somerset or Wellington county division, so that it included the towns of Wellington and Wiveliscombe, many small villages and parts of Exmoor. Until local government reorganisation in the 1970s, it was defined as consisting of Taunton borough, Wellington Urban District, Wiveliscombe Urban District (until that was abolished) and the Dulverton, Taunton and Wellington rural districts. There were very minor boundary changes in 1983.
