Some small remains of a priory are still to be found at the rectory near the church. Bathealton, a parish 3 m. S.E. of Wiveliscombe. The church has been rebuilt, and is of no antiquarian interest. Batheaston, a large parish on the Avon, 2-1/2 m. The church has been restored, but it retains its well-proportioned Perp. tower.
The interior contains piscinas in chancel and on S. wall, and a circular Norm. font. In the churchyard is the base of a cross. Shipham, a village on the Mendips 2 m. The church is modern. Skilgate, a village 5 m. E. from Dulverton. The church has been rebuilt . Solsbury Hill. See Batheaston. SOMERTON, a small town of nearly 2000 people, 7 m.
In 1776, a poem entitled An Election Ball, founded on a theme proposed by Lady Miller, who held a sort of little poetical court at her villa at Batheaston, did not disappoint the expectations formed of the author of the Bath Guide. It was at first written in the Somersetshire dialect, but was afterwards judiciously stripped of its provincialism.
'We met a chaise and four at Cold Aston, the guard answered, ruminating. 'But 'twas Squire Norris's of Sheldon, and there was no one but the Squire in it. And a chaise and four at Marshfield, but that was a burying party from Batheaston, going home very merry. No other, closed or open, that I can mind, sir, this side of Dungeon Cross, and that is but two miles out of Bristol.
