The Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Shapwick within the English county of Somerset was consecrated in 1331. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1][2]
History
The building was constructed in the early 14th century and consecrated in 1331. It replaced an earlier building which existed in 1168 but may go back to a charter of 971. The new building had the same dimensions as the previous church.[3] The church was under the patronage of Glastonbury Abbey.[4]
Its central two-stage tower is a style that was at least a century out of date when it was built in the 15th century as part of wider alterations to the church.[1] Further restoration was undertaken in 1861 by George Gilbert Scott.[1]
The parish is part of the Polden Wheel benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[5]
Architecture
The church consists of a nave with a vestry, chancel and south porch.[1] The tower has six bells.[4]
Parts of the current building including the piscina and font were moved from an earlier church in fields outside the village.[6]
The church contains memorials to the Bull family, including Henry Bull, who were Lord of the Manor and lived at Shapwick Manor.[1]
