History
The parish was part of the hundred of Crewkerne.
Much of the development of the village occurred under the lords Poulett extending their large house and estate (Hinton House). By the 1560s the three open arable fields had been enclosed and two large estates of 74 and 68 acres (280,000 m2) created, based on the now disappeared hamlet of Craft. The park contained deer and orchards, with cherry trees
Also the home to the 6 sons of William Paull who fought bravely in World War I. Sadly only 2 survived.
