Weston Beggard, St John the Baptist

The Weston Beggard Parish Church of St John the Baptist is located beside Church House Farm on the south side of Weston Beggard Lane. This is a small hamlet and there are not many properties. I parked on the verge beside the church.

The church is set in an attractive churchyard a short distance from the River Frome. The ringing room is reached by climbing a 29 step stone spiral staircase whose entrance is inside the church. The room has one window and is a reasonable size allowing space for several to sit while the 5 bells are rung.
