History edit
The church was built in the 13th century.[1] It was originally dedicated to St. Giles, and has also been known as Holy Trinity Church.[2]
Due to the condition of some of the stonework and ceilings the building has been laced o the Heritage at Risk Register.[3]
The parish is part of the Camelot Parishes benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[4]
Architecture edit
The stone building has Doulting and hamstone dressings and slate roofs. It consists of a three-bay nave and two-bay chancel with a small vestry and south porch.[1] The nave walls incorporate remnants of 12th-century carvings.[5] The west tower is supported by angled buttresses and contains bells from the 14th and 15th centuries.[1]
The interior fittings are mostly from the 19th century,[1] but it does contain a circular Norman font.[6][7]
