The neighbouring village of Chew Magna has in its graveyard an early 19th-century limestone round-topped stone which bears the inscription to William Fowler "shot by an Highwayman on Dundry Hill 14 June 1814 aged 32 years".

500 metres south of Rackledown Farm in East Dundry, there was a Civil Bombing QL decoy site, C1C.

Bonfires were also lit to resemble buildings under attack with the intention of tricking the bombers to release the bomb load before arriving over Bristol.

In 1941, there was a Home Guard exercise for Dundry and neighbouring villages including Winford, Bishopsworth, Leigh Woods and Norton Malreward.

The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, such as the village hall or community centre, playing fields and playgrounds, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning.

[13] The parish is represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom as part of the North Somerset constituency.

The Church of St Michael at Dundry[14] is a prominent feature in its hill-top position with its tower visible for many miles around.

The four-stage tower[15] was erected by the Society of Merchant Venturers of Bristol as a landmark and is widely visible.
