East Lambrook Manor is a small 15th-century manor house.[1] It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building.[2] The garden was planted by Margery Fish from 1938 until her death in 1969. She wrote several books on cottage gardens and held the National Collection of Geraniums,[3] and a collection of snowdrops.[4]

The Anglican Church of St James dates from the 12th century.[5] The parish is part of the benefice of Martock with Kingsbury Episcopi and Ash within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[6]

The pub in the village is the Rose and Crown, which dates from the 17th century.[7][8]
