Rowberrow is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Shipham in the Somerset district, in the ceremonial county of Somerset, England. In 1931 the parish had a population of 56.[1] On 1 April 1933 the parish was abolished and merged with Shipham.[2]
Rowberrow is near Churchill, close to the Dolebury Warren Iron Age hill fort.
It is the site of a Bronze Age barrow approximately 20 metres (66 ft) in diameter, which was excavated in 1813,[3] and is believed to have given the village its name as Rowbarrow means 'rough hill' or 'barrow'.[4]
The parish was part of the Winterstoke Hundred.[5]
It was formerly a mining parish producing calamine.[6]
Church
The parish Church of St Michael and All Angels dates from the late 14th century, however the nave, chancel and south porch were rebuilt in 1865. It is a Grade II* listed building.[7]
