Seavington St Michael
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seavington St Michael is a village in the south of the county of Somerset in England.
Situated about 3 miles east of Ilminster, Seavington St Michael and the neighbouring village of Seavington St Mary comprise to form the Civil Parish of The Seavingtons. The villages lie in a hollow within a larger area of low-lying hills and valleys running broadly east-west. A part of the South Petherton Hundred, originally the area included seven settlements (seven tons) which have gradually merged or vanished; even in the last century Seavington Abbots was recognised as a separate entity.
Seavington St Michael, whilst the smaller of the two villages with 57 dwellings and 125 inhabitants, appears to have become the more important since the motor car forced the building of New Road to straighten the London to Exeter route early in the 20th century, thus by-passing Seavington St Mary. Since then, in 1988 the new Ilminster by-pass has taken away much traffic, although the road through Seavington St Michael is still a major access route to the market town of Ilminster.
