Thurloxton, a parish half way between Taunton and Bridgwater (lying a little off the main road), and 3 m.  N.W. of Durston Station.  The small church of St Giles is noteworthy for (1) the carved oak screen, which has rests for books attached to it, (2) the fine oak pulpit (dated 1634), with four figures in relief, three apparently representing Faith, Hope, and Charity (cp.  Stoke St Gregory), (3) the W. door, made of one solid block of wood; over the entrance is the date 1500.  Observe, too, the piscina and the old tub font.

Tickenham, a village 4 m.  E. from Clevedon and 3 m. from Nailsea Station.  Its church, dedicated to SS.  Quiricus and Julietta, is interesting.  The tower (as at Wraxall and Brislington) is characterised by having niches on each face rising above the parapet between the pinnacles, and containing effigies.  Externally, there should be observed (1) the square sanctus-bell cot, (2) the E.E. porch.  The interior is very plain.  The square piers of the arcades have no capitals, and are possibly Norm., though one has at two of its angles small pilasters with carved capitals.  The chancel arch is round-headed, probably early Norm., without mouldings.  In the N. aisle there are three life-sized effigies (two knights in full armour and a lady), assigned to the 13th cent., and supposed to be members of the Berkeley family.  Note (1) font, (2) ancient glass.

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.  Roman coins have been found within it.  The position commands a fine view, both landward and seaward.

Timberscombe, a small wayside village, 3 m.  S.W. of Dunster on the Dulverton road.  The church (Perp.) has an unimposing tower (rebuilt 1708) with slate pyramidal spire.  Within is a small coloured rood-screen resembling that at Carhampton, but with staircase intact.  Note (1) piscinas in chancel and aisle, (2) old wooden door to N. entrance, (3) Devonshire foliage on one of the arcade piers (cp.  Luccombe).  In the churchyard is a restored cross.  Half a mile beyond the village is the manor house of Bickham, one wing of which was originally a chapel.

Timsbury, one of the colliery villages near Radstock, 1 m.  N.W. from Camerton.  Like its neighbour Paulton it stands high, but it is both more attractive and more pleasantly situated, commanding a pretty prospect towards Camerton, which it overlooks.  The church was rebuilt in 1826, but the chancel was added later from designs by Sir G. Scott.
