DUNDRY, a parish in the hundred of CHEW, county
of SOMERSET, 5 miles (N.W. by W.) from Pensford,
containing 454 inhabitants. The living is a perpetual
curacy, annexed to the vicarage of Chew Magna, in the
archdeaconry of Bath, and diocese of Bath and Wells.
The church, dedicated to St. Michael, stands on a lofty
hill, and has at the west end a fine embattled tower, ornamented
with clustered pinnacles. On the same hill
is a rude building, supposed to have been intended for
a beacon. There is a trifling endowment, the gift of
Benjamin Symes, in 1778, for teaching two poor boys,
and another, the bequest of Joseph Ilellier, for seven
girls. A fair for cattle and sheep is held on the 12th of
September.
