Church of Our
Lady
The Catholic parish of Norton St Phiilip was started
in the village in 1913 by Dom Ambrose Agius as a
Mass centre from the newly founded mission in Radstock.
In 1923, a small property was bought on Bell Hill
which consisted of a house, a paddock and some outhouses.
A temporary church was built on the site with a parish
hall and skittle alley as social amenities. In 1954,
Dom Edmund Lee was appointed Parish Priest and, as
a professionally qualified engineer, immediately
started to produce designs for a permanent church.
With the help of novices and junior monks from Downside,
the new church was built and opened in 1961. It was
dedicated to Our Lady.
