Church of St Laurence, Priddy (PiPs)

Church of St Laurence, Priddy on the Mendip Hills.

Originally built in the 13th Century the church was partially rebuilt in the 15th Century and restored between 1881-1888. The churchyard is said to predate the church.

The stained glass window was donated in memory of Catherine Gibbons of Eastwater Farm who died aged 19 in 1988. The window shows her beloved horse. (Please see PiP)

Priddy itself is steeped in history. Priddy sheep fair has been held on the green from at least as early as 1348.

There are also four earthwork enclosures called the Priddy Circles. These are thought to have been the site of henge monuments. There is also evidence of a number of possible Bronze Age barrows said to be associated with the circles.
