The Camelot Group of Parishes Having evolved for a number of years, the Camelot Group of Parishes was legally established in 1976 and was the first team of this sort in the county of Somerset. The parishes of Blackford, Compton Pauncefoot, Holton, Maperton, North Cadbury (including the villages of Galhampton and Woolston), North Cheriton, South Cadbury and Yarlington, in the Diocese of Bath and Wells, are served by a ministry team consisting of the Vicar, lay Readers, retired and non-stipediary clergy. The eight parishes work closely together in several ways. There are Group Services, a Group Choir and a combined monthly magazine named the "Excalibur" (after the Arthurian legends associated with Cadbury Castle) and a Group Council concerned with joint activities and long-term planning.

In 1086 when the Domesday survey was odered to be compiled by king William the Conqueror, Woolston was one of 87 Somerset manors held by the powerfull half-brother of the Conqueror, Count Robert of Mortain who was the largest landowner in Somerset and possessed 797 manors throughout England.

Elm Tree Cottage in Pitman's Orchard, was built by Isaac Pitman in 1725.

The Old Manor Farmhouse was built in 1770 and was formerly three cottages, one of which was the village shop.
