When I first moved into Banwell in 1986 I was unprepared for the wealth of history relating to the church, Bishop of Bath and Wells (Abby and Tower on the hill), the largest discovery of prehistoric bones in a cave under the hill, Roman remains including a mosaic, old mine workings, a mystery gravestone. I also heard rumours that St.Patrick may have been born there, I did not believe this to be true, just a legend that had been embellished over a few ales – but https://historyfirst.com/saint-patrick-was-somerset-man-study-finds/ maybe it is all true.
