St Luke and St Andrew Church, Priston
The 15th century tower is crowned with a large gold cockerel weather vane given as a gift by the lord of the manor in 1813. Also on the east face is a clock face of 1813. The church is well worth visiting with impressive arches inside, and a very old horse chestnut and yew tree in the graveyard.

St Luke & St Andrew's Church
Priston is an old settlement, dating back possibly to a Roman farmstead in the area, but certainly a village granted by King Athelstan, who gave the Manor of Priston to the Monastery of Bath in about 930AD. There is some belief that there was a wooden church here at the time. Priston is later mentioned in the Domesday Book. By the twelfth century, a stone nave was built, with more added in the fifteenth. And as ever, the Victorians put their own stamp on churches in the 1860s, with this one having a pulpit installed.

Weathered faces on St Luke & St Andrew's Church
The church has a few small gargoyles and other features, most of which are looking a little drawn these days.

Big, bright weathercock
The top of St Luke and St Andrew's church is crowned with a large and shiny weathercock. It was actually given to the church by a William Vaughan in 1813 and was most recently regilded in 1997 at a cost of £845. It is six feet long and five feet high; your humble contributor has never seen one so big and wonders if it is the biggest weathercock in Christendom.
