More about this scene

Inland from Eype, towards the Marshwood Vale, Symondsbury clusters between Colmer's Hill and Old Warren Wood (centre skyline). The direction is north-eastwards from the slope above the Ilchester Arms Inn (bottom right), which was named for the landowning Strangways family who held the Ilchester earldom. The main buildings are 1868-dated Symondsbury School (centre) and St John the Baptist Parish Church, with a clock and six bells to its embattled tower.
