Yeovil Attractions
Yeovil (pop. 26,400) is a bustling market town, the center of an agricultural area of apple orchards, farmland and ancient villages. The handsome Early Perpendicular St John's Church has an unusual copper lectern and several rather curious bosses (including some carved with African masks from the time of the Crusades).
The Church of St John the Baptist, from the 14th century, has a 92 foot high tower containing two bells from 1728.
