Emborough, Somerset – Church of The Blessed Virgin Mary

Radstock, Emborough, Somerset, England

This striking church with its prominent tower stands on a ridge of the Mendips, an area of outstanding Natural Beauty. St Mary’s dates from the 18th century, but its shape and site suggest earlier Saxon origins. Its prominent central tower, rising to an elegant parapet with four crocketted pinnacles at the corners, has a thirteenth-century base. Inside are eighteenth-century fittings and the lovely barrel-shaped nave ceiling has a decorated plaster frieze at its east end. With its proximity to Glastonbury and Bath this elegant church is in a perfect spot for both exploring the rural landscape and enjoying some city sightseeing too.
