The village has a population of 415.[1] HistoryThe first documentary evidence comes from 737 when the manor was granted to the Bishop of Winchester. In 890 the land was granted to a Wulfhere Gidding.[3] The parish of Nynehead was part of the Taunton Deane Hundred.[2] The village was the site of a boat lift on the Grand Western Canal,[3][4] and the remains of two aqueducts are still standing.[5][6] GovernanceThe parish council has responsibility for local issues, including setting an annual precept (local rate) to cover the council’s operating costs and producing annual accounts for public scrutiny. The parish council evaluates local planning applications and works with the local police, district council officers, and neighbourhood watch groups on matters of crime, security, and traffic. The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning. Conservation matters (including trees and listed buildings) and environmental issues are also the responsibility of the council. The village falls within the Non-metropolitan district of Taunton Deane, which was formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, having previously been part of Wellington Rural District.[7] The district council is responsible for local planning and building control, local roads, council housing, environmental health, markets and fairs, refuse collection and recycling, cemeteries and crematoria, leisure services, parks, and tourism. Somerset County Council is responsible for running the largest and most expensive local services such as education, social services, libraries, main roads, public transport, policing and fire services, trading standards, waste disposal and strategic planning. It is also part of the Taunton Deane county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election, and part of the South West England constituency of the European Parliament which elects seven MEPs using the d'Hondt method of party-list proportional representation. LandmarksNynehead Court dates from the late 14th century with major additions in 1675 and the 18th century.[8] The Nynehead Hollow is another prominent landmark in the village. It is believed that the "Hollow" was dug out by the Sandford family in the hope of making Nynehead Court quicker to get to from the servant houses which were situated in east Nynehead. Religious sitesThe church, dedicated to All Saints, is a small structure built of mostly of local red Permo-Triassic rock,[9] probably on the site of an earlier church, with a square tower containing five bells. The interior of the church contains some monuments to the Sandford family of Nynehead Court.[10] Sandford family of NyneheadThe best known member of the Sandford family is probably the Reverend John Sandford, Vicar of Nynehead 1811-1834. From 1819 he was largely an absentee clergyman living in Italy, where he made a controversial marriage to Elizabeth Georgiana Morgan, who had been divorced in scandalous circumstances by her first husband, Valentine Lawless, 2nd Baron Cloncurry, after admitting to adultery with a neighbour.[11] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Statistics for Wards, LSOAs and Parishes — SUMMARY Profiles|url=http://www.somersetintelligence.org.uk/files/Somerset%20Census%20Key%20Statistics%20-%20Summary%20Profiles.xls|publisher=Somerset Intelligence|accessdate=4 January 2014|format=Excel}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Somerset Hundreds|url=http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Miscellaneous/|publisher=GENUKI|accessdate=21 October 2011}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.nynehead.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=27&Itemid=87 |title=The boat lift on the Grand Western at Nynehead |accessdate=2010-11-11 |work=Nynehead parish website}} 4. ^{{cite web | title=Remains of vertical lift on former Grand Western Canal. | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=270999 | accessdate=2007-12-06}} 5. ^{{cite web | title=Aqueduct, formerly carrying Grand Western Canal over driveway to Nynehead Court | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=270995 | accessdate=2007-12-06}} 6. ^{{cite web | title=Aqueduct formerly carrying the Grand Western Canal over the River Tone, now disused | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=270996 | accessdate=2007-12-06}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Wellington RD|url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10185531|work=A vision of Britain Through Time|publisher=University of Portsmouth|accessdate=5 January 2014}} 8. ^{{cite web | title=Nynehead Court and wall adjoining on north side of forecourt | work=Images of England | url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/details/default.aspx?id=271014 | accessdate=2007-12-06}} 9. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.nynehead.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=54&Itemid=322 |title=Origins and Foundation of All Saints' Church, Nynehead |accessdate=2010-11-11 |work=Nynehead parish website }} 10. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.nynehead.org/pdfs/publications/whitaker.pdf |title=Notes on the history of Nynehead Court |accessdate=2007-12-06 |format=PDF |work=Nynehead parish website }} 11. ^Cokayne Complete Peerage Reprinted Gloucester in 6 Volumes 2000 Vol. 3 p. 330 External links{{Commons category|Nynehead}}
