About Shepton Mallet - show infohide info

Shepton Mallet is a small town in the county of Somerset, in the south west of England. The town has a population of approximately 8,000 inhabitants. The towns name derieves from the Anglo Saxon word for Sheep-fold, which points to the reason for much of the towns early wealth. The town was formed on land given to the Malet family by Henry I, hence the earliest double place name. The town is steeped in history; with the market cross in the town centre dating from 1500s. The town has the UK's oldest in-use prison, and a significant number of Roman artifacts were uncovered here during the 1990's. The town was also used to keep a number of important British national treasures, such as the Domesday book, safe during World War II. The traditional wool and silk industries were joined by brewing in the 19th century. The Anglo-Bavarian brewery, still a local landmark, was reputedly the first in England to brew lager. The town is still important in the production of cider, and the drink Babycham is still produced in the town. The Glastonbury festival is held annually in the village of Pilton, 2 miles from Shepton Mallet. Other towns nearby include Glastonbury, Wells, Castle Cary, Frome, Coleford, Street and Evercreech.
