The Parish Church of St Hypolite is a parish church located in Ryme Intrinseca. It features a 13th century nave and chancel, with a 17th century west tower and north porch. The church is built with rubble-stone walls and freestone dressings, topped with clay-tile roofs and stone slate eaves. The chancel has its east wall rebuilt in the 17th century, and it includes a 17th century east window with three 4-centred and graduated lights, adorned with a moulded label. Each side wall of the chancel has a 13th century lancet window.

In the nave, the north wall has a trefoiled light at the east end that illuminates the pulpit, dating from the 17th century. There is also a 17th century three-light stepped window similar to the chancel's, and a two-light window west of the porch, also from the 17th century. The early 15th century north doorway features moulded jambs and a 2-centred head. The south wall of the nave has its easternmost window with two lancet lights from the 13th century.

The early 17th century west tower consists of three stages, topped with an embattled parapet and pinnacles at the corners. The northeast stair-turret is also embattled and has a pyramidal roof. The west doorway features chamfered jambs and a 4-centred head. The second stage of the tower has a window with two round-headed lights in the east wall. The bell chamber contains windows in each wall with two four-centred lights in square heads, featuring stone tracery.

Inside, the chancel and nave are structurally undivided, with a segmental plastered roof supported by tie-beams, compartmented in the chancel. The font is an octagonal bowl with a concave underside and necking, supported by an octagonal stem and concave base, dating from the late 15th century. There are two 17th century chairs in the chancel. In the nave, the Royal Arms are painted on canvas within a frame with a segmental head, featuring the initials G.R. and John Williams, Yeovil, dated 1793.
