Chewton Mendip can be divided into a number of areas and some aspects of the tithing system are retained but most of the farms are now private houses. Some houses take their names from natural features but the church is the best known and obvious building in the village and  is correctly an icon for Chewton Mendip. There are some grand houses in the village but the majority of the homes are more humble. Properties may be  structures or fields and are listed under their modern names, minus a prefix like ‘The Old…”. Placs icon places
