Get a paper map and cut out Somerset.  Create a small hole through the location of Chilton Polden.  Thread a string through the hole and hang it like a conker.  It will hang horizontally.  This is because Chilton Polden is the geographical centre of the county.  Then at the heart of this centre is its small village church of St Edward.
