Cricket St Thomas, Civil parish in South Somerset, United Kingdom
Cricket St Thomas spans 707 acres across a T-shaped territory with steep slopes from Windwhistle ridge at 700 feet to Purtington brook at 400 feet.
The Domesday Book of 1086 recorded Cricket St Thomas as 'Land of the Count of Martin' with two slaves, six villagers, and five smallholders managing livestock.
Cricket House gained recognition as Grantleigh Manor in the BBC television series 'To the Manor Born', which attracted 24 million viewers in 1979.
The A30 road connects the parish to neighboring towns Chard and Crewkerne, while the parish council manages local planning applications and community projects.
Admiral Alexander Hood acquired the estate in 1775 and commissioned architect Sir John Soane to design the Georgian manor house with white marble Ionic columns.
