Wembdon is a rural village near Bridgwater, in Somerset, England. Wembdon is now home to an Anglican church, a small shop (combined with the post office), a pub, a small garage and was home to a former fruit juice processing and packaging plant. ==History== Wembdon was listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as having "5 villagers and 6 smallholders with four ploughs". The name Wembdon is believed to mean "Huntsman's Hill", referring to Wembdon Hill itself where Saxon * burials have been discovered. These are believed to be British burials which date to the Saxon period. Wembdon Hill is also the site of St. Johns Well, which was renowned for its healing powers from the 15th century onwards.〔 In 2002 a northern distributor road for Bridgwater was built to the south of the village to ease traffic congestion in Bridgwater town centre. The road had been part of local town planning since the 1980s, and building proceeded despite some local resistance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wembdon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
