Rowberrow

Rowberrow is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Shipham in the Somerset district, in the ceremonial county of Somerset, England.

[2] Rowberrow is near Churchill, close to the Dolebury Warren Iron Age hill fort.

It is the site of a Bronze Age barrow approximately 20 metres (66 ft) in diameter, which was excavated in 1813,[3] and is believed to have given the village its name as Rowbarrow means 'rough hill' or 'barrow'.

[6] The parish Church of St Michael and All Angels dates from the late 14th century, however the nave, chancel and south porch were rebuilt in 1865.

The author and cat lover Doreen Tovey lived in Rowberrow from the early fifties until her death in 2008.
