Mudford is a village on the Yeo, 3 m.  N. of Yeovil.  The church has a good tower, but contains little of interest.  The pulpit appears to be Jacobean, and there is a curious bracket near one of the S. windows.

Nailsea, a village (with station) 9 m.  W.S.W. of Bristol.  Its church preserves some features of interest, among them being (1) stone pulpit, entered through the wall by a staircase which formerly led to the rood-loft, (2) curious carving on the capitals of the arcade, (3) piscina, (4) monument to Richard Cole and his family, with its punning Latin epitaph and free translation.  Some way from the village is Nailsea Court, a manor house of partly Tudor, partly Elizabethan construction.

Nempnett Thrubwell, a small village 7 m.  S.W. from Pensford Station, and 10 S.S.W. of Bristol.  It stands on high ground overlooking a deep valley.  In the neighbourhood some very fine views may be obtained of the Mendip Hills, the Blagdon Reservoir, and the Wrington valley.  The church is a small building with a Perp.  W. tower, from the W. face of which project two curious and uncanny carved heads of a man and beast.  The walls of the nave still bear the original 13th cent. consecration crosses.  The chancel is modern, and contains a rich modern screen and a good E. window of Munich glass.  Note (1) rude Norm.  S. doorway filled with Perp. tracery; (2) Norm. font carved with a curious device by some later craftsman.  Near the porch in the churchyard is (1) base of ancient cross; (2) tomb of first rector—­Robert—­bearing an incised cross.  The parish once contained a remarkably fine tumulus of masonry, said to have been one of the finest in Britain, in the chambers of which skeletons have been discovered.  A few vestiges of it now only remain, the rest has been used as a lime-kiln.

Nettlecombe, a parish 2-1/2 m.  S.W. of Williton.  Its church stands in the park of Nettlecombe Court, the seat of Sir J.W.  Trevelyan.  Though restored in 1869 it retains several features of interest.  The tower has the staircase turret at the N.W. angle (cp.  Martock and Yeovil).  In the interior note (1) the foliage round the capitals of the arcade piers; (2) the fine ancient glass in two windows in the N. aisle, representing seven saints; (3) the octagonal font, with carved sides (much defaced), seven of them supposed to represent the seven sacraments; (4) the effigies under two E.E. recesses in the S. aisle, representing (i) a crusader, (ii) a knight (hip-belted) and his lady.  They probably belong to the Raleigh family, the former owners of Nettlecombe Court.  There is also a slab with an inscription to John Trevelyan (d. 1623).  The pulpit is approached by the old rood staircase.  The Communion plate dates from the 15th cent. (1479).
