Inside
The nave is C15th with a Pre-Reformation (1536) wagon roof with bosses at the centre of each rib. . The font is Norman (AD1100-1135) There are Norman features of the West and East arches under the tower and above all, the plain heavy rounded groins in the vaulting which rest on strange grotesque dragon-heads. In the South wall there is a small window of medieval Somerset glass.
There are two bells, one of which is dated AD 1638 and the other is considerably earlier and bears the inscription ING (?) NAZARENVS REX IUDEORUM
