Morning Walk around the Village

South Horrington is a relatively new village created in the late 1990s from the defunct Mendip Hospital that was closed in 1991.

The original hospital opened on 1 March 1848 and was built to house 400 patients and staff. The principal architect was George Gilbert Scott, who is better known for his designs of St Pancras Station and the Albert Memorial in London.

The church was at the centre of the former Mendip Hospital which closed in 1991 and later converted to accomodation.
