More about this scene

St Bartholomew's Church has a beautiful Somerset tower. Monks from the former abbey at nearby Athelney are reputed to have built part of the church and carved its bench ends with figures, some of which are depicted jumping over rhynes. Its graveyard spills across the road to the village hall. The garage and old farmhouse next to it remain.
