Curry Rivel probably grew up around the Green before the Romans came.  There was a church in Curry Rivel at the time of the Doomsday survey in 1086.  However, the village lay between two ancient monastic houses, so there may well have been a church on this site long before the Norman Conquest.  The oldest surviving part of the Church is to be found in the North Chapel, which contains 13th century and early 14th century work, although it is probable that this was built on the remains of a much earlier Saxon building.  The Chapel contains the tomb of Sabina Revel who died in 1254 and who was the last of the family from which the village takes its name.
