Montacute
Montacute is a tiny town as well as civil parish in Somerset, England, 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Yeovil. The village has a population of 831 (2011 census). The name Montacute is thought by some to derive from the Latin "Mons Acutus", referring to the conically intense St Michael's Hill controling the village to the west. An alternate view is that it is named after Drogo de Montagu, whose family members stemmed from Montaigu-les-Bois, in the arrondissement of Coutances. Mortain held Montacute after 1066, Drogo was a close partner. The town is developed nearly entirely of the local hamstone. From the 15th century up until the start of the 20th century it formed the heart of the estate of the Phelips family members of Montacute House. The town has a great medieval church, and was the site of a Cluniac abbey, the gatehouse of which is now a personal house. At the centre of the village is a huge square called the 'Borough' around which are organized picturesque cottages and also a pub, the Phelips Arms; there is a second public house and hotel located in the town, called the King's Arms.
