Combe St Nicholas (21 m.  N.W. of Chard) has a spacious Perp. church, preserving in the N. aisle a jamb of a doorway belonging to the original Norm. church, and in the chancel a piscina of the succeeding E.E. building.  There are also piscinas in the N. and S. chapels.  Near the organ are some remains of the old rood-screen, whilst two ancient fonts are kept in the W. end of the church.  In the neighbourhood some barrows have been discovered, and at Higher Wadeford a Roman pavement has been found, forming part of a villa.

Compton Bishop, a small parish under the shadow of Crook’s Peak, 2 m.  W.N.W. of Axbridge.  The church contains a Norm. font (with a wooden cover dated 1617) and some E.E. work (note especially the jambs of the S. doorway and the fine double piscina).  There is a very good carved stone pulpit, some ancient glass in the E. window, and a cross with traces of carving on the shaft.

Compton Dando, a small village on the Chew, 2-1/2 m.  E. of Pensford.  The church is of 14th-cent. workmanship, but the chancel and S. porch respectively bear the dates 1793 and 1735 (probably referring to repairs).  Within is a piscina and Norm. font.  The churchyard contains a good sundial.

Compton Dundon, a village 5 m.  S. from Glastonbury Station (S. & D.), on the main road to Somerton.  In the centre of the village of Compton is the remnant of an old cross.  The church, in the hamlet of Dundon, is half a mile away on higher ground at the foot of Dundon Beacon.  It has a Perp. nave and a Dec. chancel, with a fine E. window.  The whole fabric has been carefully restored.  There is a good specimen of a Caroline pulpit (1628), let into the N. wall, and reached by means of the rood stairway.  The sanctuary contains a sedile and piscina, and a stoup and a rougher piscina will be found in the nave.  In the churchyard is a very fine yew tree, locally credited with an age of almost 1000 years.

To the E. of the church rise the wooded sides of Dundon Beacon, a striking-looking hill with the summit encircled by a camp.  A cist, containing a skeleton and some metal rings, is said to have been discovered here.

Compton Martin, a village 3 m.  E.S.E. of Blagdon.  The church is quite remarkable, and is one of the finest bits of Norm. work in the county.  The nave is entirely late Norm., and possesses the unusual feature of a clerestory.  The fine arcades, with their cylindrical columns and circular abaci, are too obvious to escape notice, but particular attention should be paid to the twisted pillar on the N.E.  The chancel has an extremely low quadripartite vault, the effect of which is rather spoilt by the distortion of the chancel arch through some defect in the foundations.  The aisles are Perp., and the one on the S. curiously encloses the clerestory.  Note (1) the junction of the Perp. arch and Norm. pillars, (2) recessed effigy of a lady at E. end of N. aisle, (3) semi-circular recess, probably for additional altar (cp.  Cudworth); (4) Norm. font on a fluted pedestal, (5) Perp. screen, said to have been an importation.  There is a Perp.  W. tower of weak design and poor workmanship, opening into the nave by a panelled arch.
