Our society is dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich history of Ilminster, a town located in the heart of Somerset, England.
Ilminster has a long and fascinating history dating back to the Roman times and has been the site of many important events throughout the centuries. Our society aims to share this history with the local community and visitors alike, through our events, talks, and publications.
Our website is a hub of information about Ilminster’s past, from its medieval market and royal connections to its involvement in the English Civil War. Here, you can explore our archives, learn about our upcoming events, and get involved with our activities.
We are a friendly and welcoming society, and we welcome anyone with an interest in history to join us. Whether you are a seasoned historian or simply curious about the town’s past, we hope our website will be a valuable resource for you.
Thank you for visiting the Ilminster History Society website, and we hope to see you at one of our events soon!
