English Heritage sites near Cheddar Parish
MEARE FISH HOUSE
7 miles from Cheddar 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.
GLASTONBURY TRIBUNAL
9 miles from Cheddar 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.
STANTON DREW CIRCLES AND COVE
11 miles from Cheddar 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.
TEMPLE CHURCH
15 miles from Cheddar 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
17 miles from Cheddar 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.
MUCHELNEY ABBEY
17 miles from Cheddar Parish
Once a wealthy Benedictine house, Muchelney’s main buildings were demolished by Henry VIII in 1538. See the richly decorated cloister walk and thatched monks’ lavatory – the only one in Britain.

Church Street
Cheddar
(01934) 742535
St Andrew's is a beautiful Medieval Church. There has been a church in Cheddar since Saxon times and behind the church there are Saxon stones in the Vicarage garden.
We have a variety of services to suit all tastes and provide a warm welcome for everyone. One of the more recent additions to our service rota is the Breakfast Service. It is proving a very popular, informal, service with the chance to enjoy conversation over bacon and egg butties, toast, cereal and fresh tea and coffee!
St Andrew's also welcomes the three local schools in for their seasonal services and project work as well as a weekly toddler group.
We look forward to seeing you.
