}}Stoke Pero Church in Stoke Pero, Somerset, England was built in the 13th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1] Standing 1013 feet (309 meters) above sea level, it is claimed to be at a higher altitude than any other church in England.[3] It is certainly the highest church on Exmoor.[2]

History

The church has no known dedication to any saint, however an inscription on one of the three bells suggests it may have been dedicated to Saint Barbara.[3]

The tower dates from the 13th century. The rest of the church was largely rebuilt in 1897 by Sir Thomas Dyke Acland, 12th Baronet.[1][3] It is likely that there was a church on the site long before the 13th century.[4]

The list of rectors goes back to 1242.[3]

Occasional services are held at the church by the parish of Porlock with Stoke Pero which is within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[5][6]

Architecture

The stone building has slate roofs. It consists of a three-bay nave and chancel with a porch to the north. The tower is supported by diagonal buttresses and has a stair turret.[1] It has no electricity supply and is lit by candles and warmed by fuel-stoves.[7]

Inside the church is a baluster font.[4]
