Wellington

 is a small industrial town in rural Somerset, England, situated 7 miles (11 km) south west of Taunton in the Taunton Deane district, near the border with Devon, which runs along the Blackdown Hills to the south of the town. The town has a population of 13,696, which includes the residents of the parish of Wellington Without,  and the villages of Tone and Tonedale.
Known as Weolingtun in the Anglo-Saxon period, its name had changed to Walintone by the time of the Domesday Book of 1086. Wellington became a town under a royal charter of 1215 and during the medieval period it grew as a centre for trade on the road from Bristol to Exeter. Major rebuilding took place following a fire in the town in 1731, after which it became a centre for clothmaking. 
In 1809, the Crown referenced Wellington when creating a viscountcy for the eventual Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, after his victory at the Battle of Talavera in the Peninsular War. When the title's name was being considered, Arthur's brother, Richard Wellesley, Earl of Mornington, found an available manor in the parish of Wellington, a name close to the family name.  Richard oversaw the manor's purchase while Arthur commanded the army in Spain against the French. The Wellington Monument south of Wellington commemorates Arthur. The Grand Western Canal reached the town in 1835 and then the Bristol and Exeter Railway in 1843. The town's own railway station survived until 1964. Wellington was home of Fox, Fowler and Company, which was the last commercial bank permitted to print their own sterling banknotes in England and Wales. In the 20th century closer links with Taunton meant that many of the residents of Wellington commuted there for work, and the M5 motorway enabled car journeys to be made more easily. Local industries, which now include an aerosol factory and bed manufacturers, are celebrated at the Wellington Museum in Fore street. Wellington is home to the private Wellington School, and state run Court Fields Community School. It is also home to a range of cultural, sporting and religious sites including the 15th century Church of St John the Baptist.

It's proud to be a Transition Town, part of a global movement where residents set about making their community more self-sufficient, sustainable and less environmentally damaging. Community gardening projects, a repair shop where volunteers offers services to mend household goods and there's even a Wellington Foraging Map, identifying public areas in town where people can source fruits, nuts and herbs for free.

WELLINGTON BASINS
Wellington Basins is complex system of waterways and ponds, developed around the existing Westford Stream and the Rockwell Green Stream, provides a fascinating glimpse into part of the industrial history of the area. The two large ponds, together with improved streams, new channels and various weirs and sluices, were excavated by Thomas Fox between 1801 and 1803 to enable a constant and controllable water supply to his woollen mills at Tonedale. Having inherited Tone Mills from the Were family in 1796, he expanded the business by buying the Old Town (flour) Mills at Tonedale for conversion, and over the next few years proceeded to modernise the works with complex new machinery which required two water wheels for power. The introduction of steam power in 1840 led to the demise of the water wheels, but the Basins were kept operational in case one day they might prove useful again. As the mills declined during the 20th century the Basins also slowly decayed. In 1978 a Basins Preservation Society was formed to restore the waterways, and it is now a valuable place for recreation and wildlife.

WELLINGTON MONUMENT
he Wellington Monument is a 175 feet (53 m) high triangular tower located on the highest point of the Blackdown Hills, 3 km (1.9 miles) south of Wellington, Somerset, England. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building.
Wellington Monument, with painted site barrier in place at the base due to renovation works. It was erected to celebrate the Duke of Wellington's victory at the Battle of Waterloo. The foundation stone was laid in 1817, on land belonging to the Duke, but the monument was not completed until 1854. Its design was inspired by an Egyptian obelisk, but in the shape of the type of bayonet used by Wellington's armies.  It is 80 feet (24 m) wide at the base. A counterweight hangs inside to help balance the Monument in windy weather. An internal staircase ascends to a viewing platform.
It is now owned by the National Trust, and is floodlit at night. Originally four cannon surrounded the Monument, but these were removed during the Second World War (1939-1945) and used for scrap to help the war effort. In 1985, the Wellington Rotary Club donated the cannon currently standing at the base of the Monument. The viewing platform is currently (2007) closed due to safety concerns.  In June 2009, the National Trust announced plans to reclad the monument at a cost of £4 million. The painted fence was replaced by an open wire fence in 2010, aiding visibility, but still denying public access to the base of the monument.

WELLINGTON PARK
Wellington Park is a small park linking the centre of Wellington to the surrounding countryside. It is listed Grade II on the English Heritage Register and in 2003 it was awarded a Green Flag for high quality-provision. The park was a gift from the much respected Quaker Fox family to the town and was described by the Wellington Weekly News in 1903 as "an ideal park for the people". The family were the town's main employer for many years, providing jobs to over a thousand people in their textile manufacturing, wool and banking companies.
Minutes from a meeting held in 1902 to discuss a permanent recreation ground in Wellington showed the family's intention:  "...what is most wanted is a place in a convenient and pleasant situation, planted and laid out in lawns and flower beds and well supplied with seats...". Their offer of the park was made on the basis that the park was "under the constant supervision of a resident caretaker and shall not be used as a playground, or as a playing field, for older children and adults." The garden was then designed by F.W. Meyer, a renowned German landscape gardener. He included in his design a rock garden as part of the pond area which included 80 tons of limestone from Westleigh. Cement was not used as the colour of it would not have matched the limestone when it was wet.   The rock garden was made from limestone. The floral bedding was designed to compliment and contrast with the rock garden and curving paths. Rhododendrons as well as Berberries, Savin Junipers and Holly Olives were added. Plane trees were planted along the eastern side of the park in 1908 to replace a line of mature Beech trees which were deemed too large and unsafe. The park has four entrances, three incorporated in the original layout; the fourth, which provides access close to the bandstand from the recreation field was a later addition. The caretaker's cottage was built in a similar style to that chosen for the entrances. On the first floor, there was a gracefully curved window that would have allowed the caretaker a comprehensive view of the park. A commemorative plaque with a plain sundial is situated on the south-facing wall. A drinking fountain at the north end of the Broad Walk was installed near the entrance from Beech Grove and close to the caretaker's cottage. Although no longer in use due to changes in hygiene regulations, the drinking fountain was an essential amenity in parks and open spaces at the start of the twentieth century.

Opened on 30th August 2016 this new Wetherspoon is named after the famous Duke of Wellington. The building has, at very great expense, been massively rebuilt from the Wellington Town Hall which also previously had a Rex Cinema on the upper floors. The building was in a very dilapidated state and needed some considerable work to achieve the finish that we see today. The upper floor has been opened out to reveal a magnificent brick wall and wooden carved roof. A visit just for the architectural effects is worth the effort in addition to the usual Menu and Real Ale choices which will feature local breweries. There is no car park and you will need to use local municipal car parking. The nearest is west of the traffic lights towards Exeter and can be found on the right, between Fore Street & North Street.

The A38, A358 and M5 are all within easy reach. Once you get here it really is like a world of your own, far, far away from the push and shove of modern life. You can easily forget about the rest of the world when you come for your large group holidays at The Cottage Beyond, and sometimes, that’s something we could all do with. A chance to completely unwind, nothing to worry about, nothing to do but smile, to enjoy spending time with your favourite people. At your disposal is a beautiful spa hall with a heated pool, hot tub and sauna, and large landscaped gardens. Beyond that is the farmland, free for you to wander, with walks, ponds and woodlands and the most spectacular views, rolling on and on forever to meet the sky. Make the most of it, enjoy it all, you’ll even find welly boots here for you so pull them on and get out and explore. There’s nothing like being outdoors – the fresh air, exercise, the sights and sounds, and you’ll find so much to do here! We have maps of the farm for visitors and we’re always happy to give you a guided tour! There are signposted walks you can follow, a Stamp Box Challenge, animals you can go and say hello to, and chickens clucking about in the orchard, so potter over and collect free range eggs to take back for breakfast. Don’t be surprised if you have a little company whilst you’re out and about on the farm – our dogs love to join in a walk, and you may even find our friendly long-haired goats tagging along too!

FOX MILL SHOP
Wide range of wool and wool/cashmere fabrics and flannels all woven on site.Deborah Meaden, the multi-millionaire busineswoman with a high profile in the UK due to her involvement in the popular TV show Dragon's Den, recently (2009) acquired west of england cloth merchants Fox Brothers with partner and long time friend Douglas Cordeaux, now Fox's Managing Director.   Fox is a 250 year-old firm that is probably the world's best quality weaver of flannel cloth, and Meaden's investment brought much-needed capital to the company.a renowned cloth maker which dates back to 1772 and makes 'West of England' flannel, selling to London's Savile Row tailors.   In the past it made puttees, bands of cloth that wrapped around legs, for First World War soldiers and it made suits for Hollywood legends Cary Grant and Fred Astaire.
On television, Deborah Meaden has a stern presence which is exaggerated on the show. In person she is charming and a pleasure to chat with, particularly about Fox. She was born in Somerset and so has been aware of the company for most of her life. Fox once employed over 5000 people and had a huge presence in the area. What's more, Meaden's husband went to school in Wellington (home of Fox) with some of the Fox brothers so when Cordeaux approached her with the idea to buy the company, it felt like serendipity. She was also strongly attracted by the quality of Fox's products, which have stood the test of time and remain as relevant today as they were when the Mill first went into production.

FRAME OF MIND GIFT SHOP
We are here to offer you original, fun and stylish ideas to make your gift shopping easier. We’ve been busy at Frame of Mind, in Ilminster deep in the heart of Somerset since opening our first store in 1994, where to begin with, we offered picture framing in the back half of the shop, and sold gifts and cards in the front half. December 2005 saw the Wellington shop open, so we now have 2 stores, each with their own individual style.We no longer offer a framing service - we're just too busy with everything else! We’re passionate about keeping local high streets alive, and choose to shop with independent suppliers wherever possible. Lily Flame Candles is based in Somerset, Banyan Jewellery is based in Devon and Brakeburn in based in Dorset - individual businesses that keep rural towns flourishing - and we hope that Frame of Mind makes a contribution to the vibrant atmosphere in Ilminster and Wellington. Frame of Mind remains an independent, family run business. We're two brothers, and work closely with an energetic team who help us with the jewellery, handbags etc (thanks girls), to offer a personal service characterised by an awareness of current trends, individuality, creativity and enthusiasm.
