Montacute Road was rerouted through what is now the Agusta Park estate, leaving behind the original road as part of a footpath network. There is an old Victoria Lodge left to crumble, which was on the original junction of Lufton Road and Montacute Road

The ancient parish of Thorn Coffin, known since 1884 as Thorne, (fn. 1) lies 2 miles north-west of Yeovil. It measured 413 a. in 1901, (fn. 2) and since 1933 has formed part of the civil parish of Brympton. (fn. 3) It is irregular in shape: its northern boundary with Chilthorne Domer follows, with slight deviations, the Yeovil-Tintinhull road, and was marked c. 1300 by Thorn Ditch. (fn. 4) Part of its southern boundary with Brympton and Lufton is aligned with Thorn Lane, the road from the hundred stone of Stone to Montacute. At the Oaks, however, it leaves the road and runs (fn. 5) southwards towards Lufton, field boundaries at that point suggesting the line of an earlier road or track. The western limit of the parish has a protrusion reaching Montacute and including meadow land known as Castle Leasne in the 17th century (fn. 6) and Castle Leaze in the nineteenth. (fn. 7) The name is a possible indication of an early attachment to Montacute castle. https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/som/vol3/pp250-255

Fascinating Ham Hill is well worth a visit, being at once a geological Site of Special Scientific Interest, a Scheduled Ancient Monument, an Iron Age hill fort, a Roman site, a Local Nature Reserve and a country park.

Witcombe Valley, part of Ham Hill Country Park, is a fabulous 100 acre sweeping valley that up until the 16th Century was the location for a small hamlet of around 10 houses each farming a small plot of land.

Montacute house driveway, gates locked and small Ham Stonewall at the end.
