South Cadbury — деревня и бывший гражданский приход , в настоящее время входящий в приход South Cadbury и Sutton Montis, в округе Сомерсет церемониального графства Сомерсет , Англия. В состав прихода входит деревня Sutton Montis .

Он известен тем, что здесь располагался холм-крепость Кэдбери -Касл , который некоторые считают Камелотом короля Артура .

История

Название Кэдбери означает форт Када и относится к замку Кэдбери [ 2] , который находится непосредственно к юго-западу от деревни. Это огромное холмистое форт железного века , занимающее площадь около 20 акров (8 га). Это место было занято людьми со времен неолита до позднего саксонского периода [3] . Известно, что оно было частично раскопано Лесли Олкоком в 1960-х годах, когда, среди прочего, был обнаружен пиршественный зал периода Артура . С тех пор как Джон Лиланд упомянул местные традиции о связи с королем Артуром в 16 веке, широко распространилось предположение, что это было местонахождение Камелота. Колодец короля Артура находится у подножия холма, а местный паб , Красный лев , был переименован в Камелот , когда он был реконструирован в 2004 году.

В Книге Страшного суда 1086 года поместье записано как принадлежащее Турстину Фицрольфу . [4]

Приход входил в сотню Кэтсаша . [5 ]

Гражданский приход

1 апреля 1933 года часть прихода Саттон-Монтис была объединена с Саут-Кедбери, [6] 1 января 2015 года объединенный приход был переименован в «Саут-Кедбери и Саттон-Монтис». [7] В 1931 году в приходе Саут-Кедбери (до объединения) проживало 146 человек. [8]

Управление

The parish council has responsibility for local issues, including setting an annual precept (local rate) to cover the council's operating costs and producing annual accounts for public scrutiny. The parish council evaluates local planning applications and works with the local police, district council officers, and neighbourhood watch groups on matters of crime, security, and traffic. The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning. Conservation matters (including trees and listed buildings) and environmental issues are also the responsibility of the council.

Until 2023 the village fell within the Non-metropolitan district of South Somerset, which was formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, having previously been part of Wincanton Rural District.[9] The district council is responsible for local planning and building control, local roads, council housing, environmental health, markets and fairs, refuse collection and recycling, cemeteries and crematoria, leisure services, parks, and tourism.

Somerset County Council is responsible for running the largest and most expensive local services such as education, social services, libraries, main roads, public transport, policing and fire services, trading standards, waste disposal and strategic planning.

It is also part of the Glastonbury and Somerton county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.

Geography

South Cadbury is located at grid reference ST632256, 7.5 miles (12 km) north-east of Yeovil. The village lies just south of the main A303 road from London to the south-west of England, which runs through the north of the civil parish. As well as South Cadbury itself, the parish includes the village of Sutton Montis to the south of Cadbury Hill. This is one of three large hills in the centre and south-eastern portion of the parish, the others being Littleton Hill and the Beacon. There is a hill fort on Cadbury Hill and a disused quarry on Littleton Hill. South Cadbury is part of the Castle Cary ward, which elects one councillor to Somerset County Council.

Religious sites

The South Cadbury parish church of St Thomas à Becket is dedicated to Thomas Becket. It largely dates from the 13th and 15th centuries, but was widely restored in 1874. Many of the fittings date from this time. However, it does boast a 15th-century roof, with angel brackets and carved bosses, and an early wall painting of St Thomas.[10] The church is a Grade II* listed building.[11] The 18th century poet and satirist, Charles Churchill was at one time curate at South Cadbury.

Sutton Montis parish church is dedicated to the Holy Trinity. It has Saxon origins and includes surviving work of the 12th century. It is a Grade I listed building.[12]
