History
[edit]A small amount of the fabric of the medieval church on the site, including the doorway, remains but it was largely rebuilt by Charles Edmund Giles between 1852 and 1855.[1][2] The rebuilding was funded by Francis Dickinson the local member of parliament.[3][4]
The structure of the church was damaged when bombs exploded nearby during World War II.[5]
The parish is part of the Wheathill Priory Group of Parishes benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[6]

The interior is all from the 19th century but it does have a 12th-century font.[1]
