The Anglican Church of St Peter and St Paul in Odcombe, Somerset, England was built in the 13th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]

History

The church has 13th-century origins and was restored in the 15th.[1]

In 1874 transepts were added and the church restored.[2][1]

The parish is part of the Ham Hill benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[3]

Architecture

The Ham stone building has clay tile roofs. It consists of a three-bay nave and two-bay chancel with transepts, vestry and porch. The central two-stage tower is supported by corner buttresses with pinnacles. It is decorated with gargoyles.[1] The tower holds six bells.[4]

Most of the interior fittings are from the 19th century, but the purbeck stone font is much older.[1] There is a memorial to the travel writer Thomas Coryate who lived in the village around 1600, and a replica of a pair of his shoes.[4][5]

A headstone in yellow Jaisalmer stone lies embedded in the front lawn of the church to mark a memorial service to poet Dom Moraes (1938-2004).[6]
