Originally an important Roman town, Lindinis, on the Fosse Way and later a market town, in the medieval period Ilchester was the county town. It declined in size and importance and the last markets were held in 1833. The name was recorded in the Domesday Book as Givelcestre, meaning "Roman fort on the River Yeo".
