Polsham (also spelled Poulsham) is a small village in the parish of St Cuthbert Out in the Mendip district of Somerset.
The village is split into two parts with half of the village on the A39 road, which includes a Pub, and half of the village around 600 yards down a country lane.
Polsham railway station was on the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway line. This single platform station, opened in December 1861, was the only stop between Wells and Glastonbury. There is still a 1920s two storey station house on the site but all traffic ceased through the station on the 29th of October 1951.
