Walton, Somerset
Walton is a village and civil parish, on the Polden Hills, west of Street in the Mendip district of Somerset, England. The parish includes the hamlet of Asney. History Saxon pressure seems to have driven the Britons from the immediate area around 650 A.D. About 700 A.D. the former Celtic monastery at Glastonbury was revived under royal Saxon patronage.
