The large house with mullioned windows, near the church, now occupied by a Roman Catholic industrial school, was once a court-house belonging to the Clifford family. Down a road running E. from the church is Gurney Street Farm, an old manor-house. Carhampton, a village on the Dunster and Williton road, 2 m. S.E. of Dunster. The church has been restored and in parts rebuilt.

Triscombe Stone, near the head of Cockercombe, is a famous meet for the staghounds. At Adscombe, near Seven Wells' Combe, are the remains of a chantry which is said to have belonged to the monastery at Athelney. The W. window, with door beneath, still survives. Quantoxhead, East, a parish 4-1/2 m. N.E. from Williton, near the shore. In the churchyard is the shaft of a cross.

Nearer the coast is Lilstock church, of which only the chancel remains, serving as a mortuary chapel. Kilve, a village on the Channel, 5 m. E.N.E. of Williton, has had its name enshrined in the verse of both Southey and Wordsworth. From the shore some pretty coast views are obtainable.

One of her rhymes is well remembered in the neighbourhood: When Watchet is all washed down Williton shall be a seaport town. This is founded on the gradual encroachment of the sea, which is a fact, but it will be some time yet before masts are seen at Williton. At Dunster there is a curious mill which has two wheels, overshot, one in front of the other, and both driven by the same sluice.

A few vestiges of it now only remain, the rest has been used as a lime-kiln. Nettlecombe, a parish 2-1/2 m. S.W. of Williton. Its church stands in the park of Nettlecombe Court, the seat of Sir J.W. Trevelyan. Though restored in 1869 it retains several features of interest. They probably belong to the Raleigh family, the former owners of Nettlecombe Court.

The other, Burgh Walls, on the Bristol side of the combe, was destroyed to make room for the present villas. A British trackway, communicating with Cadbury Camp, is said to have here crossed the river by a ford. From the edge of the cliff delightful glimpses may be obtained of the bridge and gorge. Leighland, a hamlet 5 m. S.W. of Williton.

The church is modern, but contains on the chancel wall a monument, with a kneeling effigy, to a lady of the Portman family . Bicknoller, a little village 2-1/2 m. S.E. of Williton, nestling under the W. slopes of the Quantocks. In the churchyard is the shaft of an ancient cross.

The village is furnished with a good modern Institute, which contains a large assembly hall and a small museum of local geological specimens. Stringston, a small village 6 m. E. of Williton. Its little church has a broach spire of red tiles, a great rarity in this part of the country, and retains its piscina and the fragments of a stoup.

Its church, St Decuman's, on the way to Williton, is interesting. It has a good tower, with a figure of the saint on the S. face. There is a stoup outside the W. door, and remains of another in the S. porch. It will be seen that the chancel roof is a continuation of that of the nave.

The man who drove the vehicle was half-asleep, stupefied, no doubt, by the effect of the hot sun following on a possible "glass" at a public-house, but Helmsley called to him just for company's sake. "Hi! Am I going right for Watchett?" The man opened his drowsing eyes and yawned expansively. "Watchett? Ay! Williton comes fust." "Is it far?"
