The Church of St Michael at Raddington in the parish of Chipstable, Somerset, England, dates from the 13th and 14th centuries and has been designated as a grade I listed building. [1]
The 13th-century tower was restored in 1695 and rendered in the 20th century. Two of the four bells which hung in the tower until around 1971 were cast in the 1370s. [2] The windows date from the 14th or 15th century, as do the bells, which were renovated and re-hung in 1986. [3]
Under the plaster on the walls of the nave are wall paintings. [4] [5] The chancel screen dates from the 14th century. The font is of a 13th-century Purbeck type. The carved bosses in the roof include a Green Man. [2]
The parish is part of the benefice of Wiveliscombe and the Hills within the deanery of Tone. [6]
