History

The squint

The church was built in the late 15th century after a bequest from Sir Walter Pauncefoot.[2] It had a Victorian restoration which included the addition of the north aisle in the 19th century.[1]

The parish is part of the Camelot Parishes benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[3]

Architecture

The stone church has hamstone dressings and stone slate roofs. It consists of a two-bay nave, chancel and north and south aisles.[1] The two-stage west tower is supported by angled corner buttresses and surmounted by an octagonal spire.[1]

Most of the fittings in the church, including the stained glass by Charles Eamer Kempe and Jean-Baptiste Capronnier, are from the 19th century, but it does have memorials dating back to the 16th century.[1] The stained glass windows were repaired by Holywell Glass Ltd.[4]

The lychgate in the churchyard is dedicated as a war memorial to those from the village who died in the two World Wars.[5]
