History
The waggon roof above the nave and north aisle is medieval. The south aisle and the south porch were rebuilt between 1836 and 1837, with the Шаблон:Convert[3] west tower following in the 1870s and the chancel being rebuilt in 1884. The font dates from the 15th century and the pulpit from 1633.[4] There are fragments of 15th century stained glass in the West end.[5] Other stained glass is from Clayton and Bell in the 19th century.[6]
The iron railings around the churchyard are from the early 19th century.[7]
The church backs onto the Somerset County Ground and forms a familiar backdrop to the cricket ground.
Present day
The parish is part of Diocese of Bath and Wells.[8] It stands in the evangelical tradition of the Church of England.[9]
