Background
Architecture
The Perpendicular square tower, which is in three stages, dates from around 1455, but the top section was rebuilt in 1833. New aisles were added in 1499. It has a number of interesting gargoyles known locally as 'hunky punks'. The East window of the chancel contains a set of late 15th century glass depicting various saints, appropriate to the dedication "All Saints". Although restored in the 19th century, it remains one of the best preserved medieval windows in Somerset. Additionally, it is unusual in that the window contains a full set of glass from the same period.
