Rowberrow is a small village near Churchill in North Somerset, England.
Rowberrow is close to the Dolebury Warren iron age hill fort.
It is the site of a Bronze Age Barrow approximately 20m in diameter, which was excavated in 1813,[1] this is believed to have given the village its name as Rowbarrow means rough hill or barrow.[2]
It was formerly a mining parish producing calamine.[3]
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.[4]
