Godney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Godney is a village and civil parish near Glastonbury on the Somerset Levels in the Mendip district of Somerset, England.
The Church of the Holy Trinity dates from 1839 by G. D. Manners and was built on a medieval site. It was restored in 1903 with an added chancel, by E Buckle. It is a grade II listed building.[2]
During the Second World War, Godney was incorporated into GHQ Line. Several pillboxes were constructed in the area. Natural obstacles to tanks were suplemented with an anti-tank ditch and bridges in the area were prepared for demolition at short notice.[3]
