Ditcheat

[4] Boulter's Bridge which spans the River Alham is of medieval origin[5] and has been designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

[8] It is also part of the Frome and East Somerset county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

[9] The Abbey is a large house (formerly known as The Priory), built as the rectory by John Gunthorpe who was rector of Ditcheat, Dean of Wells and Lord Privy Seal, in 1473.

The house was altered in 1667 for Christopher Coward; and given a new facade and rearranged internally in 1864–68, probably by James Piers St Aubyn for Rev.

[12] Alhampton Chapel is under the auspices of St Mary Magdalene Church in Ditcheat, both of which form part of the Fosse Trinity Benefice.

[14] After it closed in 2022, a community initiative supported by the Plunkett Foundation was set up to reopen the pub, and this was successfully achieved in August 2023.

[20] Ditcheat is home to the stables operated by Paul Nicholls, trainer of Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning horses Kauto Star and Denman.
