Chedzoy Church also played its role in the 'Battle of Sedgemoor'.Here rebel soldiers hid until midnight here following the strike of midnight they were guided towards Westonzoyland where the King's men were camped but the alarm was raised and a very bloody battle took place where hundreds of rebels were slaughtered mercilessly--they were ill-equipped with their pitchforks against cannon, sword and cavalry.Eventually the 'Bloody Assizes' would condemn many to the gallows or transportation to the colonies.
