Thorverton : St Thomas a Becket's Church
The Gothic church of St Thomas a Becket was built from locally quarried stone in the late 15th early 16th centuries, although parts of it may date back to the 13th century. The western tower contains a clock and 10 bells, which date respectively from 1861, 1674, 1673 (4 and 6) the fifth from 1662 and the tenor was added in the late 90's. The church was successfully restored in 1834 when the nave was rebuilt.

Golly Cottage, Thorverton
Golly Cottage is the half of a pair of thatched cottages that faces The Bury, the village street leading to St Thomas' church http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=12533425 ; Pine Cottage is the other half, and http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=439076&mode=adv suggests that there were once three cottages in the range, and that it may have been a church house. "The gable end of Golly Cottage, facing the Bury is picturesquely irregular with a thatched porch canopy over a panelled front door. 3-light timber casements with small panes, 1 to ground floor, 1 to first floor and 1 to attic ... Scraps of leather and clay bobbins, the latter used for curling wigs, have been found under the attic floorboards indicating the workshop function of the roofspace".
