Find a church

A powerful, ambitious building, above and beyond the scale you would usually imagine for an Edwardian suburb.

12th century listed church with spectacular views across the Somerset levels.

The splendid tower can be seen for miles across the flat landscape that surrounds it.

Built in 1717, this is one of the finest Quaker meeting houses in the country.

Ancroft Church is dedicated to St Anne, the mother of Mary so the granny of Jesus. Follow the trail quiz and climb to the top of the tower to see the sea.

Set on the Llyn Peninsula, St Mary is medieval in origin but the font is the only survivor of this age, a roughly hewn monolith in brown stone, painted white on its inner face, almost sunk into the shaft beneath.

The church stands next to Over Compton House, the home of the Goodden family.

The church tower is visible for miles around, and is in the 'Levels' style. The figures around the church roof are either gargoyles (water spouts) or Hunky Punks, a local name for grotesque carvings which are not gargoyles.

A historical gem on the Somerset Levels.

Dating from the 11th century, St Mary's has an interesting collection of stained glass, well worthy of a visit.
