Chilton Trinity, a parish 1-1/2 m.  N. of Bridgwater.  Its church is of little antiquarian interest.

Chinnock, East, a village 5 m.  S.W. of Yeovil, has a church which retains no remains of antiquity except a piscina and a font.

Chinnock, West, 3 m.  N.N.E. of Crewkerne, is a parish on the Parrett.  Its church has been wholly rebuilt (1889), the only parts of the original fabric retained seemingly being a lancet-window in the N. wall of the chancel and a Perp. one in the S.

Included in this parish is the village of Chinnock, Middle, which lies a little to the E. of W. Chinnock.  The church has been restored, but retains several features of interest.  The low embattled tower has a very wide staircase-turret.  The S. door is Norm., with the zigzag moulding on the jambs and arch, and a carved tympanum.  Under one of the stone seats in the porch is a canopy, protecting the head and shoulders of a small effigy (apparently an ecclesiastic).  There is a (late) Norm. font, with an unusual moulding.  Note, too, an old carved stone built into the exterior of the N. transept.  The gable of the porch carries a curious sundial (as at Tintinhull).

Chipstable, a picturesquely situated village, 3 m.  W. from Wiveliscombe.  The church is of ancient origin, but it is difficult to say how much of the original fabric survives.  The Perp.  W. tower appears to have been restored merely, but the nave and aisles were rebuilt in 1869.  The window tracery is good, and the clustered columns with angel capitals on the S. are noteworthy.

Chiselborough, a parish near the Parrett, 4-1/2 m.  N.N.E. of Crewkerne.  Its church has a central tower and spire, built over unusually low E.E. arches, with a groined vault.  One of the bells bears the inscription “Carmine laetatur Paulus campana vocatur,” and the name of the maker.  The body of the church was rebuilt in 1842.  The chancel is a makeshift.

Christon, a parish 3 m.  S.W. of Sandford and Banwell Station, has a small but very interesting church.  It is without aisles or transepts, but has a low central tower.  The tower-vault has quadripartite groining, with curious ornaments at the base of the ribs, and is supported by two Norm. recessed arches, with double chevron and other mouldings, resting on fluted pillars.  The S. door has likewise a fine Norm. arch with the lozenge moulding.  The chancel windows have rear foliations.  The other windows are modern restorations.

A fine view is obtainable by crossing the hill on the N. which separates Christon from Hutton.
