History

The church was granted to the Bishop of Winchester by William the Conqueror, later becoming the property of Taunton Priory. [2]

The tower survives from the 14th century, however much of the rest of the building was rebuilt in the 15th and underwent Victorian restoration around 1855. [1]

The parish, with about 60 people, [3] is part of the Trull with Angersleigh benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells. [4]

Architecture

The church consists of a three-bay nave and chancel. The south porch has been converted into a vestry and the north chapel into an organ bay. The crenellated two stage west tower is supported by diagonal buttresses. [1] The oldest of the five bells in the tower dates back to around 1450. [5]

The interior contains woodwork installed by A.E. Eastwood, of Leigh Court, in Pitminster, who was the Lord of the Manor, and a local woodwork class in the early 20th century. The reredos was designed by Frederick Bligh Bond. [1] The circular stone font is Norman. [2]
