It has a fine church resembling in plan its neighbour of Stoke St Gregory, being cruciform, with a central octagonal tower. The churchyard cross has a modern shaft on an old base. Curry Rivel, 2 m. W.S.W. of Langport, is a large village with an interesting church. It has a lofty tower, with the belfry window intersecting the string course; the arch is panelled and the vault groined.

Leander would take a gun along, and shoot one of those saucy squirrels for the little sick mother. Last came the November night, when the cold had shut us in.

The finest wood roof is at Shepton Mallet; there are others of great merit also at Somerton, Long Sutton, Martock, St Mary's, Taunton, Evercreech.

Interesting brasses are preserved at Banwell, Hutton, Middlezoy, Tintinhull, Yeovil, Dowlishwake, St Decuman's, Beckington, Bishop's Lydeard.

Henchard did not turn his eyes toward either of the pair, keeping them fixed on the bond he twisted, as if that alone absorbed him.
