"First mentioned in 1179, this large, spacious church is of 12th century origin but was destroyed by fire and rebuilt, probably about 1232. It is built in local blue lias stone with Ham stone dressings and has a particularly magnificent example of the
Perpendicular towers for which Somerset is internationally famous. "
