Subject: RE: Non-Music: Place Name Query for UKers
As an aside to this, the town of Yeovil and the river it stands on used to be called the Ivel and the next town down was Ivelchester.
I know that in October 1642 the town was called Ivel as I have a copy of the pamphlet great news from Sherborne printed at that time. I cannot find when the name was changed.
