The Anglican Church of St Mary in Compton Pauncefoot, Somerset, England was built in the 15th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
History
The church was built in the late 15th century after a bequest from Sir Walter Pauncefoot.[2] It had a Victorian restoration which included the addition of the north aisle in the 19th century.[1]
The parish is part of the Camelot Parishes benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[3]
Architecture
The stone church has hamstone dressings and stone slate roofs. It consists of a two-bay nave, chancel and north and south aisles.[1] The two-stage west tower is supported by angled corner buttresses and surmounted by an octagonal spire.[1]
Most of the fittings in the church, including the stained glass by Charles Eamer Kempe and Jean-Baptiste Capronnier, are from the 19th century, but it does have memorials dating back to the 16th century.[1] The stained glass windows were repaired by Holy Well Glass.[4]
The lychgate in the churchyard is dedicated as a war memorial to those from the village who dies in the two world wars.[5]
