View of Dewlish Church and Fields

Highlight • Religious Site

The church has 2 Norman doorways and a Norman font. In the church is a monument to Field Marshall Sir John Michel, who lived in Dewlish House. He commanded the last force to take Peking. He looted the Summer Palace in 1860, chartered a ship, and brought all the fixtures and household contents to Dewlish house. Then burnt down the Summer Palace! The main gates to Dewlish House, made of Chinese rust proof metal, are all that remain of the ‘loot’.

The Oak at Dewlish

Highlight • Pub

The community run pub is a free house and is very welcoming and has great draft guest beers, and great pub food. There are fancier meals available locally, but the food is comforting, tasty and great value for money. Coped well with around twenty cyclist pitching up at the same time and very friendly.
