St Mary, Nether Stowey

Welcome to Nether Stowey, a thriving village of approximately 1500 souls, nestled at the edge of the Quantock Hills; an area of outstanding natural beauty. The village is designated a Rural Centre and as such beckons people of all ages to settle here.We have social housing, sheltered housing, some rented accommodation and sheltered housing bungalows but most of it is owner-occupied. The village has a long and interesting history, the older part of which lies in a conservation area. The oldest buildings are believed to be of early medieval origin. Overlooking the village is the remains of an 11th century motte and bailey castle known locally as The Mount. Every Easter we, the parishioners of St Mary’s Church, erect a large wooden cross visible for many miles around.
