Comment about the 17th Century Yarn Market, Dunster, Somerset

I see your explanation of how Dunster got its name from the fabric - I had read of another explanation, ie that the old name for a hill is "Torre", and the hill on which the castle now stands was once owned by a person named Dunne. It was therefore called "Dunne's Torre" which became currupted into Dunster. Incidentally, Dunster is called "Torre" in the Domesday Book.

I have to admit that I find your explanation more believable.
