History

The church was built by Richard Carver between 1827 and 1829, on the site of an earlier medieval church.[3][4] It originally had a gallery but this is now the organ loft. The Rose window was added in 1915.[1]

The parish is part of the Wiveliscombe and the Hills benefice,[5] within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[6]

Architecture

The red sandstone building has hamstone dressings and a slate roof. The aisle is of five bays. The three-stage tower is at the western end of the church.[1]

Inside the church are a 14th-century font from the earlier church along with the tombs of Humphrey Wyndham and his wife who died in the early 17th century.[1]

The churchyard cross was erected in the 14th century. It has an octagonal base and tapering shaft. The head of the cross is missing.[2]
