15th century Somerset treasure.

The church of St Peter & St Paul in Heytesbury is a large Norman building, in the centre of this ancient village.

St James church is designed in Gothic style by renowned church architect JS Crowther from Manchester (he later restored Manchester Cathedral).

A beautiful Victorian church with an interesting history in a pleasant surrounding.

Whilst it is probable that a wooden Saxon church existed on the site of the present church, we can say for certain that in the 11th and 12th centuries there was a Norman church, built of clunch and rubble intermixed with Roman tiles.

Situated on the Pilgrimage trail to St David's Cathedral the present Grade ll listed building was erected in 1865 although there has been a place of worship here since before 1066.

Perhaps the most beautiful of the great English cathedrals, it was erected between the 12th and 15th centuries and is a significant Somerset landmark.

The combination of church and cottages here is rural England at its most appealing.
