Martock is a large village and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated on the edge of the Somerset Levels seven miles north-west of Yeovil in the South Somerset district. The parish includes Hurst, approximately one mile south of the village, and Bower Hinton, which is located at the western end of the village and bounded by Hurst and the A303. The village has a population of 4,468. Martock had a single entry in the Domesday book and expanded rapidly in the succeeding years to include dependent settlements at Bower Hinton, Hurst, Newton, Coat, Stapleton, Ash, Witcombe, Milton and Long Load, expanding between 1086 and 1302 from 89 tenants to more than 200. The Church of All Saints dates from the 13th century. It was acquired by the Treasurer of Wells Cathedral in 1227 and he became the rector and patron of the church. The church was restored by Benjamin Ferrey, who was architect to the Diocese of Bath and Wells from 1841 until his death, and also in 1883–84 by Ewan Christian. The tower was built in four stages, to replace the previous one over the central crossing. It has offset corner buttresses to the full height of the tower. The church has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building. It is said to be the second largest in Somerset and has unique carved wooden statues in the eaves. The Treasurer's House is a National Trust-owned property built from hamstone during the 13th century. In 1810 1,025 of common land was enclosed as a result of the Inclosure Acts. The village was once a junction on local branches of the Great Western Railway, now dismantled. Local places of interest include the Burrow Hill Cider Farm. Local businesses include arts and crafts (stonemasonry, woodworking, silversmithing) and a fish and chip shop. Notable dwelling houses include Church Lodge.
