In a farmhouse near are the remains of Chelvey Court, once the residence of the Tynte family, who have memorials in the church. Chelwood, a small parish 2 m. S.E. of Pensford. Cheriton, North, a pleasant village 3 m. S.W. of Wincanton. It has a restored church, which preserves a pulpit of Charles I.'s time , and a tub font. The screen is, in the main, modern, though part dates from the 15th cent.
Let it be always remembered, that I know many very honourable exceptions, even in this county, which appears to be notorious for profligate and time-serving parsons; for instance, there is the Rev. Dr. Shaw, of Chelvey, near Bristol; a better christian, both in principle and practice, does not exist.
A similar method of sale is stated to prevail at Tatworth, near Chard. Chelvey is a village 1 m. S.W. of Nailsea Station. Its church, ded. to St Bridget, preserves a Norm. door within the S. porch, and a Norm. font on the S. side of the building. There is a large chapel containing three recesses beneath ogee canopies. There is some old glass in the windows, and a cross in the churchyard.
