Background
History
The name comes from the hiwisc, the Saxon for homestead, and it was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1066 as Hiwis, with the suffix marking its ownership by the family of Thomas de Champflower, who was Lord of the Manor by 1166. Just outside the village, on the road to the Brendon Hills and Clatworthy Reservoir, is Huish Champflower round barrow. The parish of Huish Champflower was part of the Williton and Freemanners Hundred. A house called Washbottle, which stands on the River Tone as it flows through the village, represents the watermill which ground the corn for the village from 1086 until World War I.
