Peasedown St John is a large village and civil parish in Somerset, England, standing on a hilltop roughly 5 miles south-southwest of the city of Bath, and 2 miles north-east of the town of Radstock at the foot of the Mendip Hills. Peasedown used to be a coal mining village, and after the last of the mines shut in the 1970s it became a dormitory village for Bath, Trowbridge and to a lesser extent Bristol.
