Chapel Allerton is a village and parish, south of Cheddar in the Bempstone Hundred of Somerset. The parish includes the hamlets of Ashton and Stone Allerton.
History
The name comes from "Aelfweard's settlement", with the chapel prefix being added in 1708 to distinguish it from the adjoining Stone Allerton. The manor was brought in 1492 by John Gunthorpe and passed to the Bishop of Wells.[2]
Chapel Allerton is located south-west of Cheddar. It is noted for the striking Ashton windmill nearby.
Listed buildings
The parish church dates from the 13th century and has been designated as a Grade-II listed building.[3] A restored cross in the graveyard is also grade II listed,[4] as is the adjacent Manor Farmhouse.[5]
