Welcome to The Huish Episcopi Village and Surrounds Website.

Our village of Huish Episcopi lies in the heart of Somerset. We have good recreational facilities and schools for children of all ages. There are fine level walks, cycle ways and footpaths beside the beautiful River Parrett. The boundary of Huish Episcopi is extensive and not easily understood, for clarification please click here. The town of Langport is nearby and within a 15-mile radius lie the larger towns of Taunton, Yeovil, Bridgwater and Street with its popular Clark's Village. The major roads M5 and A303 are readily accessible. We have the magnificent St. Mary’s Church, Huish Episcopi, with its south porch entry dating from the mid-1100s and a window depicting the Nativity Scene designed by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a leading painter and designer of the late 19th Century. This window attracts visitors from around the world.

Please take a tour of this website where more information regarding our way of life can be found. There are many tabs and sub-tabs with articles, images, videos and presentational items totalling, nominally, 2000 that can be found either directly or requiring in general just a click or two. 

Many images on this website are 'click enabled' providing further information.

We are pleased that the businesses who advertise on this website continue with their support as, not only does this increase their presence in our community and beyond, their contributions are used to benefit good causes in and around Huish Episcopi, please click here for examples. 

Rest in Peace Graham

GRAHAM LOCK 1945-2025
Graham was elected to Huish Episcopi Parish Council in 1981, then farming at Merrick’s
Farm. He eventually sold the farm when he and Margaret moved to renovate 
Paradise Cottage near Wearne, and more recently to a bungalow in Newtown.
Well known as a stalwart memberof all three Masonic Lodges based at the Hanging Chapel,
Graham was always keen to support local causes and individuals both through his contacts
and his “On the Level” transport business.
As a Councillor throughout his more than 40 years of service to Huish Episcopi
Parish Council and its residents, Graham continued to provide well-informed advice
on farming and other rural matters as well as considerable local knowledge and history.
For many years he was Vice Chairman and only retired as a Councillor last year,
due to poor health.
This year the Parish Council successfully nominated him for a prestigious
Somerset Council Chairman’s Award,which he was unfortunately
too unwell to receive in person.
