History
The church was built in the 13th century. During a Victorian restoration in 1885 the chancel was rebuilt.
Because of the condition of the roofs of the nave, chancel and tower the church has been placed on the Heritage at Risk Register.
The parish is part of the benefice of Yeovil Holy Trinity with Barwick within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.
Architecture
The hamstone building has clay tile roofs. It consists of a three-bay nave and two-bay chancel. The two-stage tower is unbuttressed.
Inside the church is a 14th-century piscina and a pulpit from 1619. The cylindrical fluted hamstone font is lead lined and decorated with cable moulding.
