Additional information
The foundations of the church building date from around 1185, the time of Henry II. The pillars are constructed from Clunch (a form of Chalk frequently found in Normandy buildings of the same age) making the pillars now over 800 years old. The height of the nave was raised around 1450 to provide the clerestory with windows in the perpendicular style. The Victorians strengthened the outer walls in 1864 and lengthened the chancel. The stained glass is also Victorian. There is a floor and wall memorial to a 1500's Bishop of Bath and Wells (don't mention Black Adder).
