Picturesque moated castle built in the 1370s. Held for the King during the Civil War, falling to Parliamentarian cannon in 1645: the gun-damaged wall finally collapsing on Christmas Day 1910.

The principal parts of a small stone manor house, probably begun about 1370 for William Latimer, Sheriff of Somerset and Dorset. The hall and solar chamber display outstandingly fine timber roofs.
Churches in Lovington Parish
St Thomas A Becket
St Thomas a Becket church is part of the Six Pilgrims benefice, a group of small churches in a very rural area who believe being closer together brings them closer to God. We are a travelling people! Sometimes our worship is at St Thomas and sometimes it is in one of the other churches. These don't always fit into a regular pattern so please click on One-Off events to see where the services are this week.
Six Pilgrims are inclusive churches and we really mean it when we say "All are welcome in this place" so, especially if you have felt an outsider elsewhere, come and give us a try.
