It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1] St Mary's Church also serves nearby Langport. Built in blue lias with golden hamstone decoration, the church is most noted for its classic {{convert|100|ft|m|0}} Somerset tower, deemed to be an architectural companion piece to St Martin's Church in Kingsbury Episcopi. A church was present on the site during the 11th century.[3] The current church was built after a fire in the previous structure. It was dedicated in 1232.[2] St Mary's tower dates from around 1500 and was built in four stages replacing an earlier central tower.[3] It is extensively embellished with pinnacles and quatrefoil panel bands. In the north-east corner is an octagonal stair turret which reaches the full height of the tower.[4] The tower was depicted on a postage stamp in 1972.[5][6] A stained glass window by Edward Burne-Jones is also noteworthy.[1] The churchyard contains two Commonwealth war graves, of a Lincolnshire Regiment soldier of World War I and a Royal Artillery soldier of World War II.[7] See also
