St Peter

Topped by the stump of a spire that was never built, the tower of Shepton Mallet church dates from around 1380, much earlier than most of the renowned Somerset towers.

A well cared for and much loved 14th century village church, open daily, with restored 1788 turret clock and heaviest known set of five medieval bells.

All Saints was built in the 15th century on an ancient site, with its tall spire and 16 ornate pinnacles dominates the skyline of the picturesque market town of Castle Cary.
