Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox Historic building The Church of St Mary Magdalene in Great Elm, Somerset, England, dates from the 12th century and is a Grade I listed building.[1]

In the 13th century the two-bay nave was lengthened, possibly when the tower was added around 1240. The chancel was widened around the same period.[2] Some of the Romanesque fabric of the original Norman building can be seen despite the remodelling in the early 17th century.[3] The walls show herringbone pattern masonry.[2] The three-stage tower has corner buttresses and a saddleback roof.[1]

Some of the box pews are Jacobean, and there is a 17th-century pulpit.[1] The West end has an imitation Jacobean gallery formerly used by the choir and organ.[2]

The parish is part of the benefice of Mells with Buckland Dinham, Elm, Whatley and Chantry within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[4]
