A garden and a cafe, both very special due to the work with people with special abilities. We ate well there. In the cemetery next door is the grave of Lawrence of Arabia. https://walledgardenmoreton.co.uk/the-dovecote-cafe/

* Athelhampton Chantry: The south transept, known as the Athelhampton Chantry, is a major historic interest. It contains numerous monuments to the Martyn family of nearby Athelhampton House, with tombs dating back to the 13th century. The effigy of Sir William Martyn (d. 1503), who built much of Athelhampton House, is particularly high quality.

* 17th-Century Woodwork: The interior boasts a wealth of 17th-century woodwork, including the pulpit, reading desk, altar rails, font cover, and box pews. The gallery over the west end of the church, dated 1635, is wonderfully carved and bears a Latin inscription: "You come hither, not to be seen, but to listen and to pray."
