English Heritage sites near Winscombe and Sandford Parish
MEARE FISH HOUSE
11 miles from Winscombe and Sandford Parish
The only surviving monastic fishery building in England, this housed the Abbot of Glastonbury's water bailiff and provided facilities for fish-salting and drying.
STANTON DREW CIRCLES AND COVE
12 miles from Winscombe and Sandford Parish
Although this is the third largest complex of prehistoric standing stones in England, the three circles and three-stone ‘cove’ of Stanton Drew in Somerset are surprisingly little known. The Great Circle, 113 metres in diameter, is one of the largest stone circles in the country and has 26 surviving upright stones. Yet recent surveys have revealed that the circles and cove were just part of a much more elaborate and important ritual site than had previously been imagined.
GLASTONBURY TRIBUNAL
13 miles from Winscombe and Sandford Parish
Fine, late 15th century stone townhouse, early Tudor façade and panelled interiors. Home to Glastonbury Lake Village Museum: discover life 2000 years ago when much of Somerset consisted of marshy sea.
TEMPLE CHURCH
14 miles from Winscombe and Sandford Parish
The 'leaning tower' and walls of this large late medieval church survived bombing during the Second World War. The graveyard is now a peaceful public garden.
STONEY LITTLETON LONG BARROW
20 miles from Winscombe and Sandford Parish
One of the finest accessible examples of a Neolithic chambered tomb, with its multiple burial chambers open to view. Bring a torch and experience the burial chambers at first hand.
SIR BEVIL GRENVILLE'S MONUMENT
21 miles from Winscombe and Sandford Parish
Erected to commemorate the heroism of a Royalist commander and his Cornish pikemen at the Battle of Lansdown, 1643, this monument marks the spot where he fell.

St James's is the beautiful parish church serving Winscombe. We try hard to cater for all traditions and tastes with a range of services to meet as many needs as possible. We pray these will equip the people to go out and love God and their neighbour in the service of Jesus Christ.
In these difficult times we hope St James's will be a beacon of light on Winscombe Hill which shines the hope and light of Jesus Christ to all the community we serve.
