Comments: Somerset is a county on Bristol Channel in western England. The Romans took the area from the Belgae in the 1st century and it prospered under their rule. The county is home to Aquae Sulis (Bath), which was one of the principal towns of Roman Britain. Overrun by the West Saxons in the 7th century, the province passed several times between the Kingdoms of Mercia and Wessex before Alfred the Great created a united England. The province is under the Ecclesiastical authority of the Archbishop of Canterbury. There is some industry in the ports and larger towns, and the baths at Bath attract many visitors, but the province is primarily agricultural in character.
