Near the church is Stowey Court, a 15th cent. mansion which was garrisoned in the Civil War. The site is worth visiting for the prospect alone. Stowey, Over, a parish 9 m. W. of Bridgwater, situated on the slopes of the Quantocks. Its church has some carved bench ends of an ordinary type, but otherwise contains little of interest. S.E. from Chilcompton Station.
In the churchyard is a weather-worn but fine cross, with a canopied crucifix. The Communion plate is pre-Reformation, dating from 1511. Portions of the old causeway which once connected the priory with the church are still traceable. Chilcompton, a village picturesquely situated at the bottom of a valley through which flows a rivulet. The stream forms a pretty margin to the village street.
