Taunton
About Taunton
Taunton is the county town of Somerset, England. It is a market town and has a minster church. Its thousand-year history includes a 10th-century monastic foundation, owned by the Bishops of Winchester, which was rebuilt as Taunton Castle by the Normans in the 12th century. Parts of the inner ward house were turned into the Museum of Somerset and Somerset Military Museum. For the Second Cornish uprising of 1497, Perkin Warbeck brought an army of 6,000; most surrendered to Henry VII on 4 October 1497. On 20 June 1685, the Duke of Monmouth crowned himself King of England in Taunton in the failed Monmouth Rebellion. Judge Jeffreys led the Bloody Assizes in the Castle's Great Hall.

There have been some, wonderful sendings off in the history of English football. My God. The earliest ever sending off was a Sunday league match in 2000 and it was between Cross Farm Park Celtic and Taunton East Reach Wanderers, right? The referee blew his whistle at the start of the match, very close to a player called Lee Todd, who was a part-time bricklayer who had his back turned.
