** History

The parish of Trull was part of the Taunton Deane Hundred.[2]
** Governance
The parish council has responsibility for local issues, including setting an
annual precept (local rate) to cover the council’s operating costs.
For local government purposes, since 1 April 2023, the village comes under the

non-metropolitan district of Somerset West and Taunton (formed on 1 April
2019) and, before this, the district of Taunton Deane (established under the
Local Government Act 1972). From 1894-1974, for local government purposes,
Trull was part of Taunton Rural District.<ref name=tauntonrd>[title=Taunton

in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects
one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.

All Saints’ Church has a tower dating from the 13th century; the rest is
15th-century. It was served by the monks of Taunton Priory until 1308.[3] The
east window, dating from the 15th century, depicts the crucifixion with St
John and the Mother of Jesus at the foot of the Cross.[4] The pulpit is
believed to date from around 1500. The building has been designated by
English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.[5]
