A fine view is obtainable by crossing the hill on the N. which separates Christon from Hutton. Churchill, a parish 1-1/2 m. E. of Sandford and Banwell Stations. The church itself is not without interest. There are two aisles, separated from the nave by arcades of different styles. A little way S.E. of Churchill, on the summit of a conspicuous hill, is Dolbury Camp.
But surviving instances of churches wholly or mainly Norman are rare: the best examples are Compton Martin, Christon, and Stoke-sub-Hamdon. There is herring-bone work at Elm and Marston Magna.
One of the bells bears the inscription "Carmine laetatur Paulus campana vocatur," and the name of the maker. The body of the church was rebuilt in 1842. The chancel is a makeshift. Christon, a parish 3 m. S.W. of Sandford and Banwell Station, has a small but very interesting church. It is without aisles or transepts, but has a low central tower.
