In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Castle like this:
CASTLE, a hamlet adjacent to the river Brue, and to the Mid-Somerset railway, 3½ miles NNE of Glastonbury, in Somerset. It has an ancient cross; and an eminence adjoining it, called Castle Hill, was the site of an ancient stronghold.
Castle is now part of SOMERSET Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how SOMERSET has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Castle itself, go to Statistics.
