Information about Yeovil
Yeovil is a town in south Somerset, England. The town lies within the local district of South Somerset and the Yeovil parliamentary constituency. It has palaeolithic remains, was on an old Roman road and was recorded in the Domesday Book as the town of Givle. It has been a centre of the aircraft and defence industries. The name ‘Yeovil’ comes via Anglo-Saxon from a corruption of the Celtic gifl ‘forked river’, or ‘The river noble’ from the Old English ea and aerel, which became Givele. Archaeological surveys have indicated signs of activity from the palaeolithic period, with burial and occupation sites located principally to the south of the modern town.
Yeovil was on the main Roman road from Dorchester to the Fosse Way at Ilchester. The route of the old road is aligned with the A37 from Dorchester, Hendford Hill, Rustywell, aross the Westland site, to Larkhill Road, and Vagg Lane, rejoining the A37 at the Halfway House pub on the Ilchester Road. The Westland site has evidence of a small Roman town.There were several Roman villas in the area, including finds at East Coker, West Coker and Lufton.
The town has two railway stations on two separate railway lines. Yeovil Pen Mill is on the Bristol to Weymouth line served by the First Great Western train operating company, whilst Yeovil Junction is on the London Waterloo to Exeter line served by South West Trains.
Yeovil is home to a number of primary and secondary schools, including Preston School, whose past pupils include actress Sarah Parish, Buckler's Mead School Sir Ian Botham's former School and Westfield School, which is also a science college. Further Education is principally offered by Yeovil College, with land-based studies available through a Yeovil centre of Bridgwater College, and some provision through private providers. It also contains one higher education university centre, University Centre Yeovil. The registered awarding body for the university centre is Bournemouth University. Westfield School is situated on Westfield Road. It has 4 main buildings on site and over 15 different facilities. Westfield is a science college and has some of the best science facilities in Somerset. However, the rival local secondary school Bucklers Mead has the best Music and Technology Facilities in Somerset and continually receives one of the best OFSTED reports in the country.
