[de] Taunton

Taunton [ˈtɔːntən] ist der Hauptort und Verwaltungssitz der Grafschaft Somerset, England und gleichzeitig Verwaltungssitz des Bezirks Taunton Deane. Der Ort liegt im Taunton-Deane-Tal und ist von den Hügeln der Quantock Hills, Black Downs und Brendons umgeben. Die Gründung erfolgte im Jahr 710 durch den angelsächsischen König Ine. Es wird aber vermutet, dass es in der Nähe schon vorher ein britisch-römisches Dorf gab. Der Name des Ortes leitet sich von Town on the river Tone oder Tone Town ab.

[en] Taunton

Taunton (/ˈtɔːntən/) is the county town of Somerset, England, with a 2011 population of 69,570.[2] Its thousand-year history includes a 10th-century monastic foundation, Taunton Castle, which later became a priory.[clarification needed] The Normans built a castle owned by the Bishops of Winchester. Parts of the inner ward house were turned into the Museum of Somerset and Somerset Military Museum. For the Second Cornish uprising of 1497, Perkin Warbeck brought an army of 6,000; most surrendered to Henry VII on 4 October 1497.[3][4] On 20 June 1685 the Duke of Monmouth crowned himself King of England here in a rebellion, defeated at the Battle of Sedgemoor. Judge Jeffreys led the Bloody Assizes in the Castle's Great Hall.[5] The Grand Western Canal reached Taunton in 1839 and the Bristol and Exeter Railway in 1842. Today it hosts Musgrove Park Hospital, Somerset County Cricket Club, is the base of 40 Commando, Royal Marines, and is home to the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office on Admiralty Way.[6] The popular Taunton flower show has been held in Vivary Park since 1866, and on 13 March 2022, St Mary Magdalene parish church was elevated to the status of Taunton Minster.[7]
