The Anglican Church of St Stephen in Charlton Musgrove in the English county of Somerset was built in the 13th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
The church was associated with Bruton Priory in the 12th century. Members of the Leir family have been rectors from 1661 until 1976.[2] The Victorian restoration in 1884 caused conflict as the rector Charles Edward Lier has not obtained the relevant permissions from the bishop.[3]
The stone building has slate roofs. It consists of a three bay nave and two bay chancel with a three stage west tower which houses three bells and is decorated with hunky punks and gargoyles. Inside the church are an octagonal font dating from the 17th century and a hatchment from 1660.[1]
The parish is part of the benefice of Charlton Musgrove, Cucklington and Stoke Trister within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[4][5]
