Crowcombe, a village 2 m.  N. of Crowcombe Heathfield Station, and 1-1/2 m.  E. of Stogumber, has a church ded. to the Holy Ghost.  The roof of the S. porch is covered with fine tracery and has a large room above it, reached from within the church by a staircase in a recess topped by a turret.  Note (1) the large late Perp. windows; (2) the fine bench-ends (one showing a man slaying a dragon, and another bearing the date 1534); (3) the splendid octagonal font with carved figures on each face; (4) the piscinas in chancel and S. aisle.  There is a small ancient screen and a modern reredos.  The N. chapel belongs to the Carew family.  In the churchyard there is a good cross (13th cent.) with niches on the shaft filled with figures now much worn.  There is another cross in the centre of the village.  Opposite the church is an old pre-Reformation building, the basement of which served as an alms-house, and the upper floor as a school.  It is now unfortunately quite ruinous.

Cucklington is a parish 3 m.  E. of Wincanton, standing on a high ridge.  The church (St Lawrence) has the tower on the S. side, having been reconstructed, after damage received in a storm, in 1703.  The arcade is severely plain, and is perhaps 13th-cent. work.  The font is Norm.  The E. window of the chancel consists of three lancets.  There is a little ancient glass in the E. window of the S. chapel.  The figure in this window represents St Barbara, who is reputed to have suffered martyrdom in the 3rd or 4th cent.; notice in her left hand the tower, which is one of her emblems.  St Barbara is said to be the patron saint of hills; hence perhaps her connection with Cucklington.

Cudworth, a small isolated hamlet 3 m.  S.E. of Ilminster.  The church is a very plain building without a tower, chiefly Perp., but retaining some Dec. work, and examples of the still earlier Norm. period.  Note (1) Norm. doorway of the 12th cent.; (2) blocked doorway on the S., with gabled weather moulding; (3) very curious round-headed recess beneath E. window of N. aisle, lighted by a tiny round-headed slit; (4) piscina with stone shelf above; (5) Norm. bases to arcade columns; (6) Norm. font.

Culbone, a small parish 9-1/2 m.  W. of Minehead.  It is reached from Porlock Weir by a woodland walk of a mile along the coast, through the Ashley Combe estate.  Its little Perp. church is remarkable more for its unusual and picturesque situation (by the side of a delightful combe) and its diminutive size (35 ft. x 12 ft.) than for any great architectural interest, though it contains some Norm. work in its font and a chancel window of two lights, cut in a single stone.  The churchyard contains the base of a cross.  The pathway from the Weir is unfortunately very much broken by a landslip at one point, and difficult for ladies to traverse.

Curland is a scattered parish 6 m.  S.E. from Taunton, on the road to Chard (nearest stat.  Hatch Beauchamp, 3 m.).  Its church (restored) is noteworthy for its small size but for nothing else.
