Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking across the valley of the Lam Brook the main item of interest here is the field immediately before Woolley with its humps and ridges. A sign of former occupation perhaps, an old manor house? Looks like a job for Time Team.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This is a Grade I listed Anglican Parish Church. Built in 1761 and by John Wood the Younger, of Bath, for Mrs. Elizabeth Parkin of Ravenfield, Yorkshire and the adjacent Woolley Manor. The church stands at the end of Church Lane behind a high wall and locked gate. Hence the photo, at arms length over the top of said wall, has decapitated the bell tower. English Heritage Building ID: 399026. See: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-399026-all-saints-church-charlcombe
