The parish is in one farm, belonging to the trustees of the late Rev. R.
Hamond, and occupied by Washington Hamond.
The Church was desecrated many years ago, and its remains now form a
cattle shed. The rectory, valued in the King's Book at £10, and now
at £170, is in the gift of certain trustees, and in the incumbency
of the Rev. Samuel Dendy of Lattiford House, Wincanton, Somerset.
