Seavington St Mary is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England. It is situated next to the village of Seavington St Michael, about 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Ilminster, within the South Somerset district and had a population of 384 inhabitants at the 2011 census.[1]
The villages 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,[2] 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.[3] Even in the 20th century Seavington Abbots was recognised as a separate entity, although it is first recorded in 1030, when it was given by Canute to Athelney Abbey.[3]
