St John the Evangelist

A medieval church with facilities, open daily and welcoming everybody whether local or visiting historic places, in the heart of a lovely Exmoor village with a pub and fantastic local walks.

An uneasy truce between priory and parish characterised the early history of this church: the townsfolk used the west end, while the monks worshipped at a separate high altar at the east end.

The gleaming lime washed walls of this imposing church overlooking Exmoor give a foretaste of the wonderfully light and spacious feeling interior, with its slender white pillars and soaring wagon roofs.
