Welcome to Northfield

Northfield is a small village located in the county of Somerset, England. It is situated on the southern slopes of the Mendip Hills, which provide a stunning backdrop to the village. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and fields of crops stretching out in every direction. The village itself is small, with a population of just over 200 people, but it has a strong sense of community and a rich history.

One of the most notable features of Northfield is its church, St Michael and All Angels. The church dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade II listed building. It is a beautiful example of Norman architecture, with a striking tower and intricate carvings on the doorways and windows. The church is still in use today and is a focal point for the community, hosting regular services and events throughout the year.

Northfield is also home to a number of small businesses, including a village shop and post office, a pub, and a farm shop. These businesses provide essential services to the local community and help to support the local economy. The village is also well-connected, with good transport links to nearby towns and cities, making it an attractive place to live for those who want to enjoy the peace and quiet of rural life while still being within easy reach of urban amenities.
