Description

View of the

The earliest church on the site was founded in 950 AD, possibly by St Dunstan.

The church is built of Doulting stone, Street stone, and the local Tor burr. There has been significant refacing done at various times, particularly on the south side. Current restoration work includes the exterior of the clerestory windows. The magnificent tower rises to a height of 134½ feet (41 meters) and is the second tallest parish church tower in Somerset.

The porch is decorated with two statues, one of John the Baptist and one of St George.
