Английская Википедия:Church of St Michael, Shepton Beauchamp
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox historic site The Church of St Michael in Shepton Beauchamp, Somerset, England is built of local hamstone, and has 13th-century origins, although it has been extensively changed since then, with major renovation in 1865 by George Edmund Street. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]
The building is of lias and Ham stone and is made up of a chancel with a north chapel and a vestry, a nave and tall three-stage west tower,[2] dating from 1477,[3] which was largely rebuilt in the 16th century.[2] It has set-back buttresses ascending to the shafts of former pinnacles, set off with an embattled parapet and gargoyles. There are two-light traceried bell-chamber windows with stone grilles, continuing as blank openings on the ringing chamber below. There are clocks with Roman numerals to the west and south faces and a higher polygonal stair-turret to the north corner.[1] The tower holds eight bells several of which date back to 1738 and were made by the Bilbie family.[2]
The former rectory, now called Beauchamp Manor, was built in 1874 for the rector V.S.S. Coles to house his curates and visitors.[4][5]
The parish is part of the Winsmoor benefice within the Crewkerne and Ilminster deanery.[6]
