English Heritage sites near Street Parish
GLASTONBURY TRIBUNAL
2 miles from Street Parish
Fine, late 15th century stone townhouse, early Tudor façade and panelled interiors. Home to Glastonbury Lake Village Museum: discover life 2000 years ago when much of Somerset consisted of marshy sea.
MEARE FISH HOUSE
4 miles from Street Parish
The only surviving monastic fishery building in England, this housed the Abbot of Glastonbury's water bailiff and provided facilities for fish-salting and drying.
MUCHELNEY ABBEY
8 miles from Street Parish
Once a wealthy Benedictine house, Muchelney’s main buildings were demolished by Henry VIII in 1538. See the richly decorated cloister walk and thatched monks’ lavatory – the only one in Britain.
SHERBORNE OLD CASTLE
16 miles from Street Parish
Built on a grand scale in the 12th century by the Bishop of Salisbury, Sherborne was coveted by churchmen and noblemen alike giving it a long, chequered history. Picnic, shop, light refreshments.
NUNNEY CASTLE
17 miles from Street Parish
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.
STANTON DREW CIRCLES AND COVE
18 miles from Street Parish
Although this is the third largest complex of prehistoric standing stones in England, the three circles and three-stone ‘cove’ of Stanton Drew in Somerset are surprisingly little known. The Great Circle, 113 metres in diameter, is one of the largest stone circles in the country and has 26 surviving upright stones. Yet recent surveys have revealed that the circles and cove were just part of a much more elaborate and important ritual site than had previously been imagined.

Built in the 13th century in a 6th century sacred Christian enclosure, Street Parish Church has been constantly changing with the times. In the 21st century it has lost its inconvenient 19th century pews and been stunningly re-vamped with a new oak floor, effective underfloor heating, new specially designed and crafted lectern and other furniture, and comfortable and movable seats.
Sunday services are of a more formal nature.
The church with its excellent acoustic is a favourite venue for concerts and recitals.
