Dist:0.2km<br/>To say nothing of the groundsman going about his duties. Some viscious looking equipment on that tractor, could do a lot of no good to the wicket.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Downside abbey, Stratton-on-the-Fosse, founded by the Benedictine Community of St Gregory the Great.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Downside Abbey and its associated school are a commanding presence on the surrounding area.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Situated on the A367. Seen from the other side in [[[1398953]]] I hear they do an excellent carvery.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The A367 passes along the far end of the road. The tower at Downside Abbey stands like a friendly sentinel.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Nestling up close beside Downside Abbey, it's easily overlooked by its bigger neighbour.

Dist:0.5km<br/>An altogether humbler affair than Downside Abbey! Churchcrawler didn't get this one.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Leaving the glamour of the A367 and Downside we are now in the backstreets of Stratton on the Fosse, giving access to places east.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Passing through Stratton-on-the-Fosse heading north toward Radstock. "St Oliver’s House is the junior house of Downside School for boys and girls aged ten to thirteen." From: http://www.downside.co.uk/School/boarding_day/st_olivers_house.html

Dist:0.7km<br/>Seems to have been seeded with next year's crop, possibly wheat. The northern part of Stratton is on the other side of the field.

Dist:0.8km<br/>Not sure where the name Pitcot came from but would bet it had something to do with coal. What I do know is that Radstock (to the north) got its name from the red soil of the area, as illustrated here. During heavy rain loose soil from the fields is washed north into the Wellow Brook then on to the River Avon. It is sometimes detectable as far away as Bath.
