More about this scene

This scene remains virtually unchanged today, but it has been cut off from the High Street by an ugly ring road. The Council House is now called St John's Court, and is occupied by the Somerset Redstone Trust. The Church of St John the Baptist is of Norman origin; its spire is visible for many miles around.
