A landmark for travellers
In medieval times, this church was a landmark for travellers crossing the lonely and potentially treacherous wilds of Sedgemoor.
Rebuilt in 1827 in a Georgian style by Richard Carver of Taunton, its interior is beautifully preserved and furnished with a lovely pulpit and box pews.
An original Medieval window that was reused can be seen in the small apse.
