Background
History
Marston Bigot was listed as "Mersitone-tora" in the Domesday Book of 1086, which gave the name of the then Saxon landowner as Robert Arundel. It became known as Marston Bigot some time after it was given by William the Conqueror to Roger de Bigod, which later became the Bigott family. The manor of Marston Bigot was held by the Crown after the execution of Lord Charles Stourton, 8th Baron Stourton in 1557. It was sold by Elizabeth I in 1596 to William Brown and James Orenge, or Orange. The parish was part of the hundred of Frome. On 1 April 1933 the parish was abolished and merged with Nunney. Nearby is Marston Moat, the site of a fortified manor house.
