==History==

The name Winsham means ''Wine's settlement''.
In Saxon times the manor formed part of the estate of Wells Cathedral.〔 The parish of Winsham was part of the Kilmersdon Hundred.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Miscellaneous/ )
With its roots in Saxon times, and its listing in the Domesday Book. Three estates had a major influence on Winsham's rural community Forde Abbey, Cricket St Thomas and Leigh House. The Fry family, the chocolate manufacturers from Bristol, who owned the Cricket St Thomas estate from 1897 until 1919, and the Hall family who followed them were particularly active in their support of the village.
The same is true of Leigh House where the Henley and Davies family also played an active part in village affairs. In the nineteenth century, the West of England Woollen Mill employed large numbers (said to be 600 at its peak).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.winshamwebmuseum.co.uk/reminiscences/clothfactory.htm )〕 During that time it is believed that the population of Winsham increased to over a thousand. This boom was over by 1850, when the mill closed, having lost its business to the north of England. At a later date, it continued on reduced scale processing jute until the early twentieth century.
Both the village Pub, ’The Bell’, and the village run general store and Post Office have been in continuous business since at least 1850. Also in the centre of the village is the village hall, a gift to the village from Lord Bridport in 1887 to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.winshamwebmuseum.co.uk/architecture&estates/history/newhistbuildingesates0112.html )〕 It is known as the Jubilee Hall.
The village school building dates back to 1818.〔 〕
A more recent structure is the Sports and Social Club, located on the larger of two recreation grounds near to the centre of the village. It hosts a strong village football club that has been active since the late 19th Century.
The Parish of Winsham has good Broadband facilities (for a rural area), with most homes and businesses having access to a 6mbs service.
