Muchelney is a village in Somerset, some 9½ miles northwest of Yeovil and about 12 miles east of Taunton. The village is set on an ‘island’ above the Somerset Levels and is sometimes cut off by flooding. The name was recorded as Micelenie in the Domesday book meaning 'the increasingly great island' from the Old English micel and from the Norsk Øe. The village is best known as the site of Muchelney Abbey, a Benedictine abbey founded by King Athelstan in 939.
