Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking east away from Wells. After Chilcompton the B3139 passes on to Charlton and Kilmersdon. Here a wheelybin waits for collection and a flowering cherry brightens an otherwise gloomy scene.

Dist:0.4km<br/>On the bend in the road is the fairly new Catholic church of St Aldhelm. In the foreground the War Memorial, and off camera to the right is a former chapel, now a house. If the catholics had known they could have bought this building!

Dist:0.6km<br/>A busy weekend for Chilcompton Village Hall as it hosts rehearsals for a forthcoming concert. Behind the hall is St Vigor and St John primary school. The hall is on Wells Road, ribbon development which stretches some way from the centre of the village. It is not easy to find a letterbox anywhere nearby.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Not sure what this complex is - I assume some sort of industry rather than the farm which was here. So with the aid of the internet I discover it is a clothing design company, Mulberry. **ADDENDUM** Alex Gray informed by Email 28 Apr 06 "With reference to the above pic, it is Mulberry, the expensive hangbag people's main factory. They used to be based at the bottom of Bowden Hill, about 0.5 miles from the war memorial, moving to the larger premises a few years ago. Hope this helps!"

Dist:0.8km<br/>Was tempted to call this "A Gentleman of the road" he was directing traffic away from approaching road surfacing vehicles in a polite and easy manner.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Still in a rural setting. A brand new church hall complex has been built in the churchyard and linked to the church proper by a shared entrance.
