Isle Abbotts is located in South Somerset about 8 miles to the East of Taunton and 4 miles to the North of Ilminster. The village boundaries were first delineated in 966 in the reign of King Edgar. 

At the heart of the village lies the Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, dating back to the 13th Century with a magnificent tower completed around 1510. Major restoration work took place in 2006 and the tower is now restored to its former glory. Over the years water ingress caused damage to the south porch. This was repaired and the area cleaned and preserved for generations to come. Facilitated by a grant from Historic England and contributions from the community, this vital work was completed during Summer 2021.
