Holcombe, Somerset
Holcombe is a small village and civil parish (population 936) in the county of Somerset, England. The parish contains the hamlets of Barlake and Edford. It is within easy commuting distance of both Bristol and Bath. History Its place name is derived from the Old English ''Hol'', meaning deep or hollow and ''cumb'' meaning valley. The parish of Holcombe was part of the Kilmersdon Hundred. The original medieval village was buried at the time of the Great Plague of London, and the old parish church, which survives, is surrounded by the mounds that bear testimony to this burial. It is suggested that the rhyme 'Ring a Ring o' Roses' began there as a result. An alternative explanation relates to the drowning of five children from the village in an icy pond in 1899. The village has two pubs: The Duke of Cumberland', which can be found at the bottom of the village's hill which in 2020 was redeveloped into a combination of a pub and a farm shop, and the ''Holcombe Inn'', which recent ...
