About Chewton Mendip, Somerset
Limestone walls and the grey, weathered spire of St Mary Magdalene define the skyline of Chewton Mendip as it commands the lower reaches of the Mendip Hills. It lies 4.1 miles west of Midsomer Norton (from Midsomer Norton: bearing 260°T, OS grid ST 599 530), and is situated south-south-east of Litton village. The earth here retains a heavy, ancient memory, evidenced by the Long Barrow 180M North Of Lime House that rests silently in the fields just to the east. Chewton Mendip draws its character from the interplay between the sharp, cooling air of the high plateau and the sheltered, damp hollows that characterise the surrounding terrain. A short distance to the west, the landscape dips toward the hidden depths of Watery Combe, where the vegetation grows thick and undisturbed by the passing of modern traffic. The local architecture possesses a sturdy, unpretentious quality, built from the very stone quarried from the surrounding hillsides. Residents move with a deliberate pace that acknowledges the weight of centuries, seemingly untroubled by the rapid pulse of the world beyond these borders. Even the light seems to linger longer against the pale masonry of the houses, casting soft, elongated shadows as the sun retreats behind the western ridges.
