The Seavingtons

Seavington St Michael and Seavington St Mary are situated about 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Ilminster, within the South Somerset district. They 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, but were the origin of the Seavington—part of the village name
