Haselbury Plucknett is a village and parish in Somerset, England, situated six miles south west of Yeovil in the South Somerset district. The village has a population of 641^[2]. It is the final resting place of 'Blessed' Wulfric (He was never formally canonised) (d. February 20, 1154).

The village has a small primary school, run by the Church of England. It also has a small village shop and post office. The only pub/restaurant in the village is called 'The White Horse at Haselbury.'

In the village there is a small, Protestant church. The church still gets a decent congregation when it has services. The local pimary school, 'within a stones throw' of the church goes there to practice and perform their plays.
