History

In 1186 the chapel at North Newton was granted to Buckland Priory by William of Erleigh.[2]

The two-stage tower believed to date from Saxon times but was altered in 1635. The rest of the church was rebuilt in 1885.[1]

The parish is now part of the Alfred Jewel benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[3] It was separated from North Petherton in 1880.[4]

Architecture

The church consists of a nave and chancel with north and south aisles. Inside there is a pulpit from 1637. The carved reredos and alter are made from wood panelling which was reused from another site.[1]
