Godney is a village and civil parish near Glastonbury on the River Sheppey on the Somerset Levels in the Mendip district of Somerset, England.

History

Near the village are the sites of the iron age Glastonbury Lake Village, and the now drained Meare Pool.

During the Second World War, Godney was incorporated into the GHQ Line. Several pillboxes were constructed in the area. Natural obstacles to tanks were supplemented with an anti-tank ditch and bridges in the area were prepared for demolition at short notice.

Religious sites

The Church of the Holy Trinity, by G.D. Manners, dates from 1839 and was built on a medieval site. It was restored in 1903, with an added chancel, by E. Buckle. It is a Grade II listed building.

There are some who believe that Godney has a direct association with the legend of the visit of Joseph of Arimathea and that it may even contain a holy burial chamber. The church sits on a very ancient holy site although very little information on this seems to exist.
