The chancel arch is round-headed, probably early Norm., without mouldings. A neighbouring farm contains some remains of an old 15th-cent. house, once the residence of the Berkeleys. Above Tickenham on the N. lies Cadbury Camp, covering about 7 acres. It is protected by double ramparts and ditches, the former consisting of piled limestone fragments, now almost entirely covered with turf.
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.
It has a small church which is remarkable for having fine Norm. arcades N. and S., it being one of a very small number of churches in the immediate neighbourhood of Taunton that retain much Norm. work. The squint is peculiar, and there is an early font under the belfry. N.W. of Durston Station. Observe, too, the piscina and the old tub font. Tickenham, a village 4 m.
