The interior, though not rich, is imposing, owing to its size and excellent proportions. The chancel is of great dignity, and some elaborately carved tabernacles, bearing traces of colouring, flank each side of the E. window, and form a fine architectural addition to the E. end. The roofs and bench ends should also be observed. Botreaux, fragments of glass in W. window.
Cadbury Camp, near Tickenham. See Tickenham. There is another near Yallon. Cadbury, North, a village 2-1/2 m. It possesses a remarkably fine Perp. church, built by Lady Eliz. Botreaux for a college of eight priests. The tower, of more than ordinarily plain design, is of rather earlier date, and the arcades have probably been preserved from some previous structure.
Here Guthrum was baptised at Alfred's insistence after his defeat at Ethandune , and here the Royalists made their last but ineffectual rally after their rout at Langport in 1645. The church stands apart from the village on a knoll rising from the marshes. It contains an ancient font, an effigy of Sir W. Botreaux on the N. side of choir. The internal arrangements of the tower are peculiar.
