 | | The Parish of North Curry, with a population of 1600 (2001 Census) and covering an area of 5500 acres, lies eight miles to the east of Taunton, Somerset, and comprises the village of North Curry and the hamlets of Helland, Knapp, Lillesdon, Newport and Wrantage. |
 | | The region, being part of the area known as the Somerset Levels, is characterised by a patchwork of rhines and by rows of pollarded willows, and remains the centre of the willow industry producing basket work and charcoal. |
 | | The northern side of the village is dominated by the imposing Parish Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, known as the "Cathedral of the Moors". |
