PETHERTON-SOUTH, (Somerset) 109 cm. 131 mm. from London, was called Pedred's-T. from the r. Pedred, now Parrot, on which it stands, above 12 m. S. E. from North. Petherton, and had formerly a palace of the West-Saxon K. Ina. The manor was anciently in the family of Daubeny; one of whom in the R. of Hen. VI. procured its Mt. on Tu. and its Midsummer Fair, which is 6 days; and another of them in the R. of Edw. IV. had a grant of the custody of the K's park here. In this R. it passed to the Hungerfords, and appears valued at 40 l. a year, in the schedule of the great estate of Thomas Ld. Hungerford's daughter, Mary, the wife of Edward Ld. Hastings, the ancestor of the Es. of Huntingdon.
