About Battleton

Battleton, a cluster of stone and thatch in Somerset, seems to draw its quietude from the very air. The lanes here, often softened by the moss that clings to ancient walls, lead towards a village green where the afternoon sun, when it deigns to appear, lays a dappled gold. Its history is not shouted from grand monuments but whispered in the worn flagstones of its lanes and the stoic faces of its cottages, suggesting a long, unbroken lineage of lives lived close to the earth. The surrounding fields, a rich mosaic of greens and browns, roll away towards the indistinct blue of the Mendip Hills, a constant, gentle presence. Though no grand abbey or castle dominates the skyline, the parish church, with its sturdy tower, stands as a steadfast sentinel, its bells marking the slow passage of days. The gentle murmur of the River Axe, a little way off, adds another layer to the sensory experience of Battleton, a subtle soundtrack to its enduring peace.
