Visit Langport and the surrounding villages and stay in bed & breakfast accommodation:
Langport, Somerset. Much the best part of this little town, which has a long-established glove industry and was formerly celebrated for its eels (gleaned from the ditches of Sedgemoor), is on its hill-top from which through traffic is discouraged. Here is the so-called “hanging chapel” spanning the road, built in the 15th century as a tradesmen's guildhouse, and the fine church, with an east window of medieval stained glass (of which there is very little in Somerset), a 12th-century Norman tympanum and splendid tie-beam chancel roof. From the churchyard there is a great view over the plain to the South; across the road rather a pretty whitened Roman Catholic church. And only 1 mile East along this road is the church of Huish Episcopi, which has one of the finest towers in Somerset and a Norman doorway remarkable for its terracotta colour caused accidentally by fire.
Langport dates from the Anglo-Saxons and grew up round a fordable place on the River Parrett. It was the scene of a decisive battle in the Civil War.
