Dist:0.1km<br/>The church of St. Michael & all Angels is located just behind Dinder house. A Norman dragon head carving that is set above the south chapel window is all that survives a much earlier building. Initially a chapelry of Wells, the church of St. Michael became a prebend of wells Cathedral in 1268 and subsequently a peculiar of the Dean of Wells.

Dist:0.1km<br/>The road to the left is called Long Lane and ends at Sharcombe Grange, about 500 yards along. The road to the right heads for Sharcombe Farm, about 400 yards, and on to Sharcombe Park about half a mile. All three are no through roads.

Dist:0.2km<br/>"Dinder (which means "the house in the valley") is a small village 2½ miles west of Shepton Mallet and 2 miles east of Wells in Somerset. It falls within the civil parish of St Cuthbert Out. The river Sheppey runs alongside the main street of the village." Dinder is home to the Showering family, creators of Baby Cham. The above was culled from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinder

Dist:0.6km<br/>Toward Shepton Mallett. This is the old Wells to Shepton Mallet road superseded when the A371 was made through Croscombe along the valley below. The minor road to the left heads south through Worminster and South Wootton. The names "Shepton" and "Wootton" betray a history of sheep farming in this area.

Dist:0.6km<br/>OS Explorer map 141 shows this as a minor road. However, there is a locked barrier at the camera position with footpath access.

Dist:0.6km<br/>Looking along the gentle slopes of the Mendips, Sharcombe Grange is among the trees to the left. Further away to the right houses in Wells can be seen, though you may need the larger version to pick them out. Try the larger version and see if you can pick out Wells Cathedral.

Dist:0.6km<br/>North of Dinder. Wells is just under two miles in this direction. Names applied to the woods on the left, "Melly" and "Steep Holm"
