Welcome to Pitney

Pitney Somerset is a small village located in the county of Somerset, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles east of the town of Langport and 7 miles south-west of the city of Yeovil. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Grade II listed St. John the Baptist Church, which dates back to the 13th century. The village also has a primary school, a village hall, and a pub called The Halfway House.

The history of Pitney Somerset can be traced back to the Domesday Book of 1086, which records the village as "Piteneia". The name is believed to have originated from the Old English words "pytt" meaning "pit" and "eg" meaning "island", referring to the village's location on a small island surrounded by marshland. Throughout the centuries, the village has been home to a number of notable figures, including the poet and writer Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who lived in the village for a short time in the early 19th century.

Today, Pitney Somerset is a thriving community with a strong sense of local pride. The village hosts a number of events throughout the year, including a popular annual fete and a Christmas market. The village also has a number of local groups and societies, including a gardening club, a history society, and a women's institute. With its picturesque setting, rich history, and strong community spirit, Pitney Somerset is a wonderful place to live or visit.
