In an impressive spot overlooking the River Culm, this was formerly the rectory, built in 1840 by Brunel. The reason for this is that construction of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, which runs through the hamlet, required the demolition of the existing rectory http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1333261&searchtype=mapsearch . I suspect this resulted in a better view! This is taken from the footbridge carrying Rewe Footpath 1 over the river.
