Ilminster is a town and civil parish in the countryside of south west Somerset, England, with a population of 5,808. Bypassed in 1988, the town now lies just east of the junction of the A303 and the A358. The parish includes the village of Peasmarsh and the hamlet of Sea.
lminster is mentioned in documents dating from 725 and in a Charter granted to the Abbey of Muchelney (10 miles (16 km) to the north) by King Ethelred in 995. Ilminster is also mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086) as Ileminstre meaning 'The church on the River Isle' from the Old English ysle and mynster. By this period Ilminster was a flourishing community and was granted the right to hold a weekly market, which it still does. Ilminster was part of the hundred of Abdick and Bulstone.
In 1645 during the English Civil War Ilminster was the scene of a skirmish between parliamentary troops under Edward Massie and Royalist forces under Lord Goring who fought for control of the bridges prior to the Battle of Langport. The town contains the buildings of a sixteenth-century grammar school, the Ilminster Meeting House, which acts as the town's art gallery and concert hall. There is also a Gospel Hall.
Ilminster is close to the River Isle and the A303 road. Along with the rest of South West England, Ilminster has a temperate climate which is generally wetter and milder than the rest of the country. The annual mean temperature is approximately 10 °C (50.0 °F).
Ilminster takes its name from the River Isle and its large church of St Mary, which is known as The Minster. The Hamstone building dates from the 15th century, but was refurbished in 1825 by William Burgess and the chancel restored in 1883. Further restoration took place in 1887-89 and 1902. Among the principal features are the Wadham tombs; those of Sir William Wadham and his mother, dated 1452 and Nicholas and Dorothy Wadham 1609 and 1618.
Ilminster used to have a station on the Chard Branch Line but this closed in 1962. There were also some sidings, to allow trains going in opposite directions to pass each other. minster lies just East of the junction of the A303 (London to Exeter) and the A358 (Taunton to Chard and Axminster). The B3168 runs through the middle of the town and is used as a bypass. There have been concerns of the safety of roads in Ilminster .

Messing About on the River Tone
Many towns miss a trick by not making the most of their rivers - if they're lucky enough to have one. In Taunton on Saturdays, the Somerset Waterways Trust are running an electric pleasure boat, Future Perfect and visitors can spend a half an hour viewing the town from the unique perspective of the River Tone. On Saturdays they run from Creech St. Michael for a rural option. We boarded Future Perfect during our visit to the England, My England festival at the Brewhouse Theatre and Arts Centre (see our video The Brewhouse Theatre and Arts Centre, Taunton) and shot this short piece. Thanks to the crew, Richard Young and Ken Gill. Shot for transitionvision.tv by John and Sue Holman.

Every year in autumn something very exiting happens in the county of Somerset in England.
Giant illuminated processions are held in a tradition that dates back as long as 400 years. Some of these processions are so fantastic they rival those of Brazil in illuminations and décor.
This particular carnival travels from one city to another from the middle of October to the middle of November bringing joy and excitement to anyone that cares to stand and watch. The processions last about two hours in some towns.
