Clandown

The nearby Bowlditch Quarry is a 0.25 hectare geological Site of Special Scientific Interest.

[1] Clandown was formerly a mining village, on the Somerset Coalfield, but the last pits in the area closed in the late 1960s.

[2] In 1896 it was owned by the trustees of the late C. Hollewy and by 1908 by the Clandown Colliery Co.[3] Artefacts from a Roman site have been found close to the village.

Almost all significant local government functions are carried out by Bath and North East Somerset, a unitary authority.

The Church of the Holy Trinity was built in the 1840s in a perpendicular style, designed by George Phillips Manners.
