History

There has been a church on this site since the late Anglo-Saxon period. The current building was designed by W. D. Caröe and completed in 1900. It was described by John Betjeman as "the finest example of Victorian church architecture in the south west". The previous church on the site was started in 1816 and was built in a Greek Doric style, but was demolished and rebuilt at the turn of the 20th century. [2]
