There are slight but extensive earthworks around the church and as far south as Courtfield House, Norton sub Hamdon. The field is marked `Court Close' on the 1839 Tithe Map. One of the buildings shown facing the lane to the church may be the Medieval manor house which was demolished in the mid 19th century. The earthworks may represent the remains of the manorial complex. (1)
