English Heritage sites near North Wootton Parish
GLASTONBURY TRIBUNAL
4 miles from North Wootton 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.
MEARE FISH HOUSE
7 miles from North Wootton 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.
NUNNEY CASTLE
11 miles from North Wootton Parish
Picturesque moated castle built in the 1370s. Held for the King during the Civil War, falling to Parliamentarian cannon in 1645: the gun-damaged wall finally collapsing on Christmas Day 1910.
MUCHELNEY ABBEY
13 miles from North Wootton 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.
STANTON DREW CIRCLES AND COVE
14 miles from North Wootton 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.
STONEY LITTLETON LONG BARROW
14 miles from North Wootton 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.

St Peter's is a very small medieval church with a welcoming congregation in the picturesque village of North Wootton. There are services most Sundays at 9.30 or 11.00am and at major Festivals. Occasionally we meet for worship with the other congregations in our benefice, or worship elsewhere, such as the Village Green or a local campsite. Service times can be found on the website.
