Summary

Description
English: This is a wonderful Somerset church, one of the finest in a county known for its fine churches. Described by the architectural expert Simon Jenkins as "Somerset architecture at its most powerful", the chief feature is its substantial 102 feet high west tower, accompanied uniquely by a smaller and older tower over the north porch.

The oldest parts of the church are the north nave aisle and north tower, dating from the mid 14th century. In the mid to late 15th century, the church was expanded significantly by building a new and larger nave and tower to the south of the building, making the original church the aisle of the new.

In the 18th century, the east end and chancel were rebuilt in the Rococo or Late Baroque style, which contrasts with the rich Perpendicular Gothic of the nave.

The tower, one of the "Mendip group", contains a heavy and rich sounding peal of six bells, including the oldest bell in Somerset that has an exact known date of casting. The tenor bell weighs just shy of 26cwt or 1309kg, and is a fine bell, by Taylor's of Loughborough, dating from 1930.
