Church of St Mary the Virgin

Church of St Mary the Virgin

This beautiful hillside landmark made of golden Ham stone is an atmospheric gem.

It stands close to an old water source, one of Somerset’s many holy or healing wells. St Mary’s is tied to its sister church in the village, St Mary Magdalene, with an old legend of two sisters who both fell in love with a vicar, each building a church for him.

Highlights of the interior include a Norman font and wonderful tombs and monuments.
