St Barbara is said to be the patron saint of hills; hence perhaps her connection with Cucklington. Cudworth, a small isolated hamlet 3 m. S.E. of Ilminster. The church is a very plain building without a tower, chiefly Perp., but retaining some Dec. work, and examples of the still earlier Norm. period. Culbone, a small parish 9-1/2 m. W. of Minehead.
There is another cross in the centre of the village. Opposite the church is an old pre-Reformation building, the basement of which served as an alms-house, and the upper floor as a school. It is now unfortunately quite ruinous. Cucklington is a parish 3 m. E. of Wincanton, standing on a high ridge. The arcade is severely plain, and is perhaps 13th-cent. work. The font is Norm.
