Muchelney (/ˈmʌtʃəlni/) is a clustered village and civil parish in Somerset, England, extending for 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from the south bank of the River Parrett.

A small settlement was recorded at Micelenie in the Domesday Book of 1086,[2] meaning 'the increasingly great island' from the Old English micel and the Norsk Øe.

[5] The remains of Muchelney Abbey, including Tudor monks' quarters, and exhibits, are managed by English Heritage.

[13] Muchelney is much subdivided in terms of fields and has a copse of natural woodland covering between 2 and 5% of its land in the middle of the south, the least inhabited area.

A small minority of homes are not in the main centre but instead along the south-eastward leading street and these are locally known as Muchelney Ham.

When the floods arrive, they share rides on a local tractor to reach their cars, and in this way they can get food and other supplies, and travel to work.
