Location of Church of St Margaret in Somerset

The Church of St Margaret in Tintinhull, Somerset, England, dates from the 13th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. [1]

There was a church in the village during the 12th century which was replaced by the present building. It was associated with Montacute Priory, [2] as part of its foundation estate which was granted by William, Count of Mortain and remained linked to the Priory until the dissolution of the monasteries. [3]

The original building was remodelled with the addition of a chancel arch in the 14th century, [4] with the perpendicular windows of the nave being added in the 15th. [3] The interior includes a 15th-century octagonal font and an altar table and octagonal panelled timber pulpit from the 17th century. [1]

It has a four-stage tower with the top stage, parapet and the north-east stair turret being added to the original 13th-century work during 1516 and 1517. [3] The earlier three-stage tower is in the Early English Period and supported by angle buttresses. [5] The tower has five bells. [3]

It has the old parsonage, which is now called Tintinhull Court. [6]

The church is now part of the United Benefice of Tintinhull, Chilthorne Domer, Yeovil Marsh & Thorne Coffin, within the Diocese of Bath and Wells. [7]
