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. Quantock Lodge (E.J.  Stanley) is in the parish.

Stratton on the Fosse, a village standing (as its name implies) on the old Roman road, 1 m.  S.E. from Chilcompton Station.  The parish church (ded. to St Vigor) is entirely overshadowed by its Roman neighbour, Downside Abbey.  It is a poor little building, with a debased tower; but preserves one or two remnants of Norm. work (e.g. a S. doorway and a fragment of the original apse).  Within is a small 15th cent. stone pulpit, and a Norm. font.

Street, a populous village 1 m.  S. from Glastonbury Station.  It spreads itself at considerable length along the Bridgwater road, and is a busy and stirring place, devoted chiefly to the manufacture of boots and shoes.  It also possesses some large lias quarries which have been prolific in fossils.  The church is a disappointing building standing well back from the village street, mainly Perp., with a rather poor Dec. chancel; and is made still more depressing by the addition of a very debased modern N. aisle.  There is a piscina and double sedilia in the chancel.  The village is furnished with a good modern Institute, which contains a large assembly hall and a small museum of local geological specimens.

Stringston, a small village 6 m.  E. of Williton.  Its little church has a broach spire of red tiles, a great rarity in this part of the country, and retains its piscina and the fragments of a stoup.  Its most interesting possession is its cross (14th cent.), with carvings supposed to represent (1) the Crucifixion; (2) the Virgin and Child; (3) a knight; (4) a bishop.

Sutton Bingham, a small parish on the Dorset border, 3-1/2 m.  S. from Yeovil, with a station on the L. & S.W. main line.  The church is of considerable interest and should be visited.  It is a 12th-cent. building standing on rising ground on the farther side of the station, and shows traces of the Norm., E.E., and Dec. styles.  It has no tower or projecting bell-cot, but a couple of bells are let into the W. gable.  A good Norm. arch, only 6 ft. wide, with zigzag ornament, divides the aisleless nave from the chancel; and other indications of Norm. workmanship are found in the N. porch and in two windows of the nave.  The chancel is E.E. and is lighted by lancets.  Round the walls and in the splays of the windows are a series of 14th-cent. frescoes, representing the Coronation of the Virgin, and a number of bishops, saints, and virgins.  A figure in the splay of the E. window has been carefully erased by some “conscientious objector.”  Note (1) E.E. piscina in chancel; (2) late Norm. font.  In the churchyard is a curious cross, consisting of a headless shaft mounted on a raised slab, seemingly a tombstone.
