Beggearn Huish

Beggearn Huish is a small hamlet in the civil parish of Nettlecombe, in Somerset, England.

[1] There was a mill at Beggearn Huish in 1086, but the location is unknown and no later reference exists.

[2] The settlement was previously known only as Huish, and was held in 1066 by Mærleswein, a Yorkshire thegn, according to the Domesday Book.

[3] The name Beggearn Huish is of uncertain etymology.

[4] It is possibly related to the Middle English word beggere or beggare,[5] and could have referred to the poor quality of the land.
