Stogumber was once a much larger community which was centred around its weaving, brewing and agricultural industries. It was situated on a long established route to the ancient port of Watchet. Documents indicate that it was an established settlement by the time of the Anglo Saxons and finds at Zinch House suggest that there may have been people living here earlier.
