The Church of St Mary the Virgin in Croscombe, Somerset, England, is primarily from the 15th and 16th centuries with 19th-century restoration. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]
The church is unusual in Somerset in having a spire. The Jacobean interior woodwork including the pulpit and rood screen are of national renown.[2][3]
St Mary's includes a peal of six bells, the earliest dated 1613, and an organ from 1837. In 1936 the spire was struck by lightning. Repairs entailed its complete removal and reconstruction.[4]
The churchyard contains war graves of four service personnel, one of World War I and three of World War II.[5]
