*************

Stogumber (/stəˈɡʌmbər/) is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, on the eastern flank of the Brendon Hills. Besides Stogumber village itself, the parish includes the hamlets of Ashbeer, Capton, Escott, Higher Vexford, Kingswood, Lower Vellow, Lower Vexford, Preston, and Vellow. The village is on the route of the Samaritans Way South West.

The name comes from the Old English Stoke meaning 'place' or 'dairy farm' with the addition in 1225 of the personal name Gunner.[2]

Approximately 0.8 miles (1.3 km) north-west of the village is Curdon Camp a univallate Iron Age hill fort.[3] The camp was nearly completely destroyed by quarrying and bulldozing.

The parish of Stogumber was part of the Williton and Freemanners Hundred.[4]

The manor of Stogumber was held from 1286 by the Andleys family and later the Sydenhams (1396–1626) and Notleys (from 1896).[2]

Five fulling mills were established in the village between the 13th and 18th century to support the cloth making industry.[2]

A 19th-century limekiln in Lower Vellow was originally attached to a quarry.[5]
