History
The church was built in the late 12th century. It was altered in the 15th century, including a new rood screen and windows, and again in the 19th century when a gallery was added and the vestry added.
The church is part of a benefice with the Church of St Peter and St Paul, South Petherton, within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.
Architecture
The hamstone building has slate roofs with a bell turret at the western end. It has a three-bay nave and single-bay chancel which are supported by buttresses.
