Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary and All Saints, Meare
|
|
The village of Meare lies
3½ miles west of Glastonbury between the Polden Hills and the Mendips.
Together with its hamlets of Godney and Westhay, it lies on highpoints
in an otherwise very flat and low lying landscape.
|
One of the most
interesting features of Meare is the Abbots Fish House, built in the
14th century and believed to have been used to store fish from the
extensive lake surrounding Meare at that time. It also has an upper
floor serving as living quarters. |
