The Anglican Church of St. Mary and St. Peter in Winford, Somerset, England, dates from the 15th Century. It has been designated as a Grade II* listed building. [1]
The main body of the original church was rebuilt in 1796 however the tower, which was built around 1437, survives. [2]
The church consists of a nave, chancel and north and south aisles along with the four-stage west tower which is supported by set back buttresses and has a small polygonal stair turret from the roof. [3] Around the tower is a trefoil-headed parapet with corner crocketted pinnacles and gargoyles on the corners. [1] The tower has six bells. These were re-tuned in 2006. [4]
The interior holds a font and wooden pulpit. There is some stained glass which is decorated with heraldic shields and a canvas coat of arms beneath the tower. [3] An unidentified monument and a Shire Monument dating from around 1764 in the churchyard are also listed. [5]
The parish is part of the benefice of Winford with Felton Common within the Diocese of Bath and Wells. [6]
