Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox historic site The Church of St Barnabas in Queen Camel, Somerset, England was built in the 14th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]

A former church in Queen Camel was the mother church to Somerton, Chilton Cantelo and the surrounding area before 1140. In the 12th century the church was given to Cleeve Abbey.[2] The first recorded rector was in 1317.[1] The church underwent Victorian restoration in 1888.[2]

The church has a Шаблон:Convert high tower, built in five stages,[3][1] which dates from around 1491,[4] The tower contains a heavy ring of six bells. While St Buryan in Cornwall is home to the heaviest ring of six bells by the weight of the tenor bell alone,[5] Queen Camel is the heaviest six in the world by total weight (all the bells combined).[6][7]

The interior contains memorials to many of the Mildmay family,[1] who were Lords of the manor. There is a wooden rood screen and octagonal stone font supported by four large carved supports.[8]

The churchyard contains a Commonwealth war grave of a Royal Navy seaman of World War I.[9]

The parish is part of the Cam Vale benefice, which includes Corton Denham, Sparkford, Sutton Montis, West Camel and Weston Bampfylde, within the Bruton and Cary deanery.[6]
