Location of Church of St Andrew in Somerset

The Anglican Church of St Andrew in West Bradley, within the English county of Somerset, dates from the 14th century. It is a Grade II* listed building. [1]

The first chapel on the site appears in records dating from 1168. Until 1875 it was a subsidiary chapel to the Church of All Saints at East Pennard. The dedication to St Andrew was only added in the 20th century. [2]

It consists of a two-bay nave, a south porch and a chancel, which has an organ loft. The two-stage square west tower has a small stair-turret on the northern side. [1] The tower holds a ring of bells, the oldest of which dates from 1706, and has a clock which was added in 1739. [2] The chancel and some other parts of the church underwent extensive restoration in the 19th century. [3] Inside the church are a Norman font and a piscina. [1] Further work, including the underpinning of the chancel arch, was undertaken in 1898. [2]

The parish is part of the benefice of Baltonsborough with Butleigh, West Bradley and West Pennard within the Diocese of Bath and Wells. [4]
