Travelling across the River Parratt, westwards from Langport for two miles brings you to the large village of Curry Rivel, on the ridge above West Sedgemoor Levels towards Fivehead. Mainly a residential village Curry Rivel has all the features of a traditional Somerset village, mostly built in blue lias limestone - a village green in front of its perpendicular 16th Century parish church, two pubs, a restaurant, post office, shop, hardware store and garden centre and primary school. From the levels the Burton Pynsent monument is easily visible - a gift from the 18th Century Prime Minister William Pitt to the Burton family.
The United Reformed Church is a traditional stone chapel building just south of the main village crossroads in Hambridge Road, Wiltown. Est 1840
