The Bulletin  

BRILLIANT AUSTRALIAN STORIES  

“The Bulletin,” Vol. 77—No. 3963  

Wednesday, January 25, 1956  

Price 9d.  

Registered at the General Post Office, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia, for transmission by Post as Newspaper  

THE CHURCH OF  

ST. MARY MAGDALENE,  

TAUNTON  

TAUNTON, the county town of Somerset,  

stands in the fertile vale of Taunton  

Deane, which is sheltered on three sides by  

the Quantock, Blackdown and Brendon Hills.  

It is one of the richest agricultural areas in  

Britain, and Taunton is renowned as tourist  

centre from which to visit the beauties of  

Somerset.  

The town has an ancient and turbulent  

history reaching back to Saxon times, when it  

was founded by King Ina (688-726). In  

Taunton Museum is preserved charter in  

Latin from King Ina, granting lands to the  

Abbot of nearby Glastonbury in a.d. 705.  

In 1497 Taunton was associated with Perkin  

Warbeck, who tried to assume the crown of  

England by claiming to be Richard, Duke of  

York, who was believed to have been murdered  

in the Tower of London. Seven-thousand men  

rallied to the cause of Warbeck, but on the  

approach of the Royalist forces, he fled to  

Beaulieu, near Southampton, for sanctuary.  

He was captured and brought before Henry VII  

at Taunton, who sent him as prisoner to  

London, where he was later tried and executed  

for high treason although no record of the  

trial is known to exist.  

During the Civil War Taunton was occupied  

in turn by the Parliamentary and Royalist  

forces. For almost year in 1645 the town  

sustained long siege under Colonel (after-  

wards Admiral) Robert Blake, against 10,000  

Royalist troops, until relieved by Sir Thomas  

Fairfax. As result of the part it had played  

in the Civil War, Charles II, at the Restoration,  

deprived the town of its Charter of Incorpora-  

tion, and much of the castle was destroyed.  

Another lively episode in the town’s long  

history was the enthusiastic welcome it gave to  

the Duke of Monmouth during the ill-fated  

rebellion. He arrived in the town from Lyme  

Regis in June, 1685, and with his army con-  

siderably reinforced he marched to Bridgewater,  

Glastonbury, Wells and from there to Sedge-  

moor, where, in July, 1685, he fought the battle  

which ended in his defeat. Although Mon-  

mouth escaped, he was later captured, dis-  

guised as shepherd, near Ringwood. King  

James handed him over to the executioner and  

similar fate awaited many of his followers at  

the trial held in the Great Hall of Taunton  

Castle, and known as Judge Jeffreys’s “Bloody  

Assizes.”  

Taunton has two fine pre-Reformation  

churches —the largest of which is the Church  

of St. Mary Magdalene, illustrated here. Its  

magnificent tower standing 163ft. in height was  

rebuilt in 1862, The oldest part of the church  

is the North Aisle, which dates back to the  

Nth century. An unusual feature of the church  

is its possession of four aisles, one of the few  

of its kind in Britain.
