Remarkable Perpendicular window tracery in south aisle, of a local type. 3. Fine North Aisle of another and later local type of Perpendicular work. 4. Splendid series of wagon roofs throughout the church with rich carving. 5. Considerable portions of rood-screen in nave and south aisle of earlier date than most other screens in the district, with the only parclose screen in the locality. 6. Stately Perpendicular west tower very like that of Minehead. 7. Good Perpendicular font with eight demi-angels supporting the basin. 8. A large number of fine 13th century tiles. 9. Early 17th century pulpit, sounding board and altar rails. 10. Important monuments to the Wyndham family, including a remarkable canopied tomb (canopy since demolished); fine 16th and 17th century brasses, some of a very rare embossed type. 11. Interesting modern altar and glass in south chapel. 12. Remains of churchyard cross. This church isc one of the oldest christian sites in West Somerset. |
