The church in 2005
The Church of St Andrew & St Mary in Pitminster, Somerset, England was built around 1300 and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]
The current church was built on the site of an earlier Saxon church. The tower has a square first stage, an octagonal belfry and a lead covered spire.[2]
During a Victorian restoration in 1869,[3] George Gilbert Scott rebuilt the north aisle and south porch.[4]
The interior is distinguished by effigy tombs of three generations of the Colles family who were lords of the manor in the 16th and 17th centuries.[5][6] The font is from the 15th century.[4]
The Anglican parish is part of the Blackdown benefice within the archdeaconry of Taunton.[7]
