Haydon, Somerset

Haydon is a village lying between Radstock and Kilmersdon in Somerset, England.

Haydon was built in the nineteenth century to house miners from the local pit in the Somerset Coalfield, which closed in 1973.

[1][2] The winding wheel from the pit is now displayed outside Radstock Museum.

Haydon forms part of the Frome and East Somerset constituency, which elects a Member of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

Almost all significant local government functions are carried out by Bath and North East Somerset, a unitary authority.
