Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking northeast towards the Church of St Mary Magdalene at Great Elm. Nave and chancel date from the 12th century, and the saddleback roofed tower from the 13th century. The east window and the south nave windows are 19th century additions in the Decorated style, while the south chancel window is in the perpendicular style (presumably dating from the 15th century). A war memorial stands just outside the south door.

Dist:0.3km<br/>A small village with a narrow road through. The 30mph limit sign is deliberately prominent. There is a move to get this reduced to 20mph in places, if someone in Great Elm is interested www.20splentyforus.org.uk can give help and information.

Dist:0.3km<br/>"Great Elm is a village close to Frome in Somerset, 15 miles south of Bath. It has just 65 households and can be found just off the A362 between Frome & Radstock, east of Mells village. It owes its origin to the medieval village grouped around the church but in the late 19th century an iron works was established on the Mells Stream resulting in a change of focus. The landscape surrounding the village is very beautiful, with rolling arable landscape to the north and the cleft of Vallis Vale to the south, where the Mells Stream swells to provide the village pond. Local geology is of particular interest and there are many lovely walks in the Vallis Vale." The above was copied from: http://mendipcm.web-labs.co.uk/templates/t03.asp?site=110

Dist:0.5km<br/>West of Great Elm. Looks like maize stubble but could be oilseed rape.
