High on the moor above Porlock is the tiny hamlet of Stoke Pero; home to the highest church in England at 1,013 feet (309 m) above sea level. The tower dates to the 13th century but the rest of the church was largely rebuilt in 1897. It is likely that there was a church on the site long before the 13th century.
