A Particular church The village of Atworth housed a small but hardy (Particular) Baptist movement for a few centuries. Eventually, they were permitted and able to build their own church here at the junction with the Purlpit road. Although the date is set as 1860, the doors were practically opened in 1864. The congregation held services until the late 1970s; it was turned over as a private residence in 1979.

Aside from the parish noticeboard, there is an old letterbox at the far end of the wall. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6932956">ST8765 : A Georgian letterbox with a benchmark</a>.

A Georgian letterbox with a benchmark This Georgian letterbox stands at the junction with the Bath Road and Purlpit. The Allen-made box has been a feature at this point for some time, with a box of some sort being here since late Victorian times.

A shady rest The west end of Atworth has a small patch of grass with a seat for visitors. It is close to the school and what used to be the Forester&#039;s Arms - a pub that had a number of changes but is now lost.

The White Hart, Atworth This is Atworth&#039;s oldest and (Covid notwithstanding) only open pub. As a village on the important road to Bath, it was a prime coaching inn which was opened in the late eighteenth century.
