Church of St Swithun

The Church of St Swithun is a small Norman church that has been recast in the Perpendicular style. It features a three-bay aisled nave with a south porch, a small west tower, and a two-bay chancel. The building is constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof, while the nave roof is covered in lead. The late 15th century includes three-light square-headed foiled windows in the clerestory and aisles, which have labels with shaped stops. The west tower is unbuttressed and has two stages, topped with a pyramidal tiled roof and lacking a west door, showcasing Somerset tracery. The gabled south porch, dating from around 1500, possibly earlier, has a moulded square-headed surround and a 4-centred arch with traceried spandrels. The south doorway is from the 12th century and features a billet hoodmould, while there is a small north door from the 19th century facing the Vicarage and a priest's door leading to the chancel.

Inside, the church has a two-bay round-arched arcade with scallop caps and responds from around the 1170s, supported by squat earlier-looking piers. The north arcade is from the 13th century. An interesting Norman font features a tub on a stem, with an upper band of triangular-headed arcading, followed by a band of saltire crosses, a band of pre-Urnes-type interlace, and a scroll pattern with an animal. There is also a band of cable work and a lower band of compass-scratched intersecting circles. The roof has moulded ties with braces from corbels and moulded king posts, and it is panelled. The church contains Victorian box pews, a pulpit and reading desk from 1637, and a pointed chancel arch from around 1200 with stiff leaf-type crocket nook shafts and chamfered arches. The chancel has two-light and quatrefoil windows with rere-arches, although the sanctuary does not have these features. The east window is a three-light reticulated window, likely a restoration from the 19th century. A memorial to Elizabeth Kete, who died in 1630, features bracketed columns flanking a tablet and supporting an entablature.

The small graveyard surrounding the church contains several 18th and 19th-century headstones and tomb chests, including a notable mid-18th century example in the north-west angle of the church, which has scroll brackets in rebates, panels with carved drapery, and oval panels with angels in the corners.
