Lamyatt is a small rural hamlet of approximately 186 residents. Located on the lower slopes of Creech Hill, close to the market towns of Castle Cary and Bruton, it is among Britain’s longest continuously inhabited settlements and is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Its history dates to Roman times where a temple existed above the village on the top of Creech Hill. The village website provides information for residents and visitors, including an archive of current and past events, and parish updates through Lamyatt Matters. The Village Hall, a refurbished 19th-century school building, together with the Church of St. Mary and St. John, serve as the heart of the community. The Village Hall hosts a regular programme of local and professional events, as well as providing a venue for various classes and celebrations. Regular services are held twice a month in the village Church along with Easter, Christmas and Harvest services. Lamyatt has also gained an enviable reputation for its annual summer open-air Shakespeare productions performed by a professional touring company since 2011.
