« ... The living is a vicarage* annexed to the curacy of Lee, in the diocese of Exeter, value £150, in the patronage of the prebend thereof. There is also a district church, dedicated to SS. Philip and James, the living of which is a perpetual curacy, value £170. The parish church, which is situated at the western extremity of the town, stands on high ground, but is completely sheltered from the N. and S.W. winds by the lofty hills which surround the town. It is an ancient structure, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, with a square tower containing six bells. The interior contains tombs of Captain Richard Bowen, Charles and Grace Cutcliffe. The new church of SS. Philip and James was erected in 1856. .... »

RECTORY AND CATHEDRAL ESTATE
About 1189 Robert of Cary gave Lovington church and 160 a. of land in the two fields of Lovington to Wells cathedral. In 1291 a distinction was made between the church and the land. Until c. 1430 the estate was held by cathedral canons or for the common fund. Thereafter until the mid 16th century it was held on lease, sometimes with a layman, by clerks who served as parochial chaplains. From the later 16th century the estate was let to local farmers when the distinction was again made between the 'manor or farm' and the rectory and parsonage, the latter presumably comprising only the glebe. From 1743 the lessees of the farm were the trustees of the clerical charity for the archdeaconry of Wells, hence the name Charity farm for the estate. The lessees of the rectory in the 18th century were sometimes clergymen. The estate was held by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in 1939.
The parsonage house was described in 1635 as having parlour, hall, and kitchen with rooms above and various farm buildings. The thatched stone house called the Old Rectory on the Somerton–Castle Cary road may be that house. It has a cross-passage plan with timber partitions and a roof of three smoke blackened jointedcruck trusses formerly windbraced which suggests a 16th century origin; the rear parlour wing is 17th-century. ...

RELIGIOUS HISTORY - CHURCH
Robert of Cary, lord of Lovington, about 1189 gave the church, which is dedicated to St Thomas Becket and may have been founded by Robert, to Wells cathedral. Its income was normally paid to the chapter's common fund but in 1319 it still had not been formally appropriated. The church was served by curates, appointed by the chapter until the establishment of a perpetual curacy in 1721. By the 1860s it was regarded as a vicarage. ...
... There was a substantial parsonage house, occasionally lived in by clergy serving the parish who had leased the rectory. There was, however, no house for the curates who provided pastoral care most of the time. In 1623 the lessee of the farm was required to find a site for a curate's house, a request repeated in 1661 but evidently not acted upon. A plain gabled TudorGothic style house was built for the curate in 1860–1 to the design of H. J. Paull of Cardiff on a site on the main road given by the Revd J. G. D. Thring. Known as the Parsonage House it was sold in 1951. .... »
