Withycombe is a village and civil parish 2.5 miles (4 km) south east of Dunster, and 5 miles (8 km) from Minehead within the Exmoor National Park in the West Somerset district of Somerset, England.
The Church of St Nicholas dates from the 13th century and has been designated by English Heritage as a grade I listed building.[1] Hidden in a wall recess is a figure of an unknown man with long hair and a hat, which is one of the earliest church monuments to include a hat. He is carrying a heartcase to show he died elsewhere and only his heart was brought to the church for burial.[2]
