التاريخ
The area around Withypool has been inhabited since the Bronze Age and the Withypool Stone Circle can still be seen on top of Withypool Hill. The Brightworthy barrows lie on the Common; of three original, two survive.[2][3]
Withypool is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being tended by three foresters: Dodo, Almer and Godric.[4] The parishes of Hawkridge and Withypool were part of the Williton and Freemanners Hundred.[5]
In the 14th century, Geoffrey Chaucer was in charge of the village in his duties as forester of North Petherton.
