The Church of All Saints at Nunney, Somerset, England, is a Grade I listed building dating from the 12th century. [1]

It was probably built on the site of an earlier Saxon or Norman church from which a Saxon cross and Norman font can still be seen. [2] A 15th-century wagon or Barrel vault used to cover the nave however the timber rotted and it was demolished in 1957. A temporary roof was installed and hidden by a suspended ceiling. Plans are being drawn up to replace the roof and fundraising is under way. [3]

Sir John Delamare and other lords of Nunney Castle are buried in the church. [4] [3]

The Anglican parish is part of the benefice of Postlebury within the archdeaconry of Wells. [5]
