URPoint Details
A small and pleasant stone built village with two Tudor manor houses, remains of a medieval cross at the foot of the church path and a steep and thickly wooded hills dominate the skyline.
North of the village a lane leads to Ham Woods (600ft).
The large Church of St Mary the Virgin is of particular interest, having an unusual spire for Somerset, and Jacobean interior woodwork of national renown. It is primarily from the 15th and 16th centuries with 19th-century restoration. It includes a peal of six bells, the earliest dated 1613, and an organ from 1837. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building
