Situation

The village of Keinton Mandeville has a long history and was mentioned in the Domesday Book when it was know simply as Chintone derived from the old English cyne and tun which translated as “the noble’s enclosure”. The Mandeville suffix was acquired in the 13th Century when it was held by the Stephen de Mandeville.

Until recent times the village was famous for the quarrying of its Blue Lias stone, which was used throughout Somerset for decoration and building. Large stone slabs of the stone, known as “shields” can still be seen in and around the village.

Today the village is a sought after spot for many reasons including its successful local primary school, popular village pub - The Quarry Inn, the quality of its housing stock and its peaceful, rural setting whilst being close enough to Bath (29 miles), Taunton (30 miles), Bristol (31 miles) and Exeter (51 miles) for those of us who have to work in the city.
