Wootton Courtney, a small village 4 m.  W. from Dunster.  It is a somewhat sequestered little place on the fringe of Exmoor, but in summer not without a quiet charm derived from the neighbouring woods and its proximity to the hills.  The church has a plain saddle-back tower, partly Norm. (observe corbel table), and one or two other features of interest.  The piers of the arcade have some canopied niches on their S. face.  Note (1) square columnar stoup in porch; (2) angels on rear arches of windows within, and devils on dripstone without; (3) rood staircase; (4) blocked squint on N. The churchyard contains some fine yew trees and the shaft of a cross.  The neighbouring hamlet of Tivington possesses a vaulted 15th-cent. chapel, with a priest’s house attached.  A fine view of Dunkery and the vale of Porlock is obtained from here.

Wootton, North, a village 2 m.  N. of West Pennard (S. & D.).  The church has a low W. tower, possessing one pre-Reformation bell.  The porch contains a curious stoup; the font is Norm.

Worle, a village 2-1/2 m.  E. of Weston-super-Mare.  Its church (ded. to St Martin) has the rather rare addition of a short spire above its W. tower.  The most notable features of the building are the Norm. remains, viz., the S. door, the octagonal font, and the little window (cut out of a single stone), which is inserted in the later porch.  Note also (1) the carved stone pulpit (once in a different position, for there is a piscina behind it), (2) the “Miserere” seats (only those on the N. are ancient, one of them has the initials P.R.S., explained as those of Richard Sprynge, Prior of Woodspring and Vicar of Worle at the end of the 14th and beginning of the 15th cents.), (3) piscina, sedilia, and aumbry in the chancel.

Wraxall, a parish 5 m.  E. from Clevedon and 2 m. from Nailsea Station.  Its church has a tower, the appearance of which is spoilt by the windows rising above the string-courses.  The pinnacles are good, and projecting above the parapets are niches for figures (cp. Brislington, Tickenham).  The S. porch (E.E.) originally had a chamber over it; the door leading to it still remains.  In the interior observe (1) the roof, (2) some screen-work, partly ancient and partly modern, (3) on the N. side of the chancel a tomb with two effigies, believed to be those of Sir E. and Lady Gorges.  In the churchyard is a fine 15th-cent. cross.  The view of the church, as it is approached from Clevedon, is particularly pretty, the woods near it seeming to embower it; whilst from its vicinity a fine prospect is obtainable.
