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.

The Manor was built in 1723 on the site of an earlier house.

Agecroft in Middle Street was built in the 15th century.

Hewlett's Mill on the Galhampton-Cadbury Road, is possibly one of the mills mentioned in William the Conqueror's Domesday Book of 1086. It was in use until 1938.
