English Heritage sites near Wells Parish
GLASTONBURY TRIBUNAL
5 miles from Wells 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
6 miles from Wells 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.
STANTON DREW CIRCLES AND COVE
11 miles from Wells 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.
NUNNEY CASTLE
12 miles from Wells 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.
STONEY LITTLETON LONG BARROW
13 miles from Wells 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
15 miles from Wells 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.

We think we're Wells' best-kept secret and we hope that you'll come and find us!
Our parish covers the Eastern end of the cathedral city and the rural communities of East and West Horrington and the new community of South Horrington.
We are linked with the benefices of Chewton Mendip with Emborough, Ston Easton and Litton.
Our website offers ‘snapshots' of who we are and what we do, but there is no substitute for meeting us one Sunday, when we can say, "Welcome to St Thomas".
