Milton Clevedon is a village and civil parish 1 mile south of Evercreech in the Mendip district of Somerset, England.
An early Iron-Age earthwork, probably a stock enclosure but known as the Castle, occupies a spur of Creech Hill overlooking the Alham valley. The site includes a possible barrow on the west.
The Church of St. James was rebuilt in 1790 and is a grade II* listed building.[2]
The Mendip Hospital was built in 1845-47 as the County Lunatic Asylum, by G G Scott and W B Moffatt, supervised by Richard Carver. It is grade II listed.[3]
