Cricket St. Thomas is a small village and estate tucked into the rolling hedged countryside of Somerset, in the district of South Somerset. The settlement centres on a historic country house, parkland and a parish church, with lakes and mixed farmland giving the area a very rural, park-like character rather than a nucleated village feel.
Historically dominated by the manor and its estate, the local economy has long been a mix of agriculture and estate-related activity, with tourism and heritage uses playing a part in recent decades - the grounds have been used for wildlife and filming projects at various times. Today it remains a quiet community whose residents often look to nearby market towns such as Chard and Crewkerne for services and work, while the landscape and historic buildings attract walkers and visitors interested in Somerset’s rural heritage.
