St Peter
Combwich , Somerset
This is a priory church, presented soon after 1100 to the Benedictine Abbey of Lonlay, near Falaise in Normandy, but later reclaimed by Henry V. It was later given to Eton College by Henry VI.
Stogursey, Somerset
The building's fine Norman legacy includes the west door and the great rounded arches at the crossing, with their exuberantly carved pier capitals dating from the late 11th century.
The nave was rebuilt around 1500 and a Victorian restoration was responsible for much of the decorative work, and for the tower's delicate parapet.
There are 14th and 15th century tombs of William and John de Verney. Among the 16th century bench ends there is one with a spoonbill, a bird once common on the flooded Somerset Levels but no longer found in Britain.
