Muchelney Is a pretty village with the National Trust owned Priests House just over the Green and the Abbey Ruins, administered by English Heritage to the rear of this lovely Grade 1 Church.

The impressive church of St Peter and St Paul stands beside the ruins of the 12th-century Benedictine abbey of Muchelney. The first church here in the 'great island' of Muchelney was built in the Saxon period, but most of the present building is 15th century.

 

From at least 1228 the vicar was appointed by the Abbot of Muchelney Abbey, and the abbey retained the living until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The abbey was responsible for providing the vicar with bread and ale every day, plus meat twice a week, and eggs and fish the other five days.

 

I loved Muchelney; the combination of the 14th-century Priest's House, the scenic abbey ruins, and the fabulous church interior make it one of the most memorable villages I've ever visited in Somerset. The painted nave ceiling is one of the most astonishing sights you could ever hope to see in a simple country church.
