The Church of All Saints which sits on a hillside above Selworthy, Somerset, England is a whitewashed 15th-century Church, with a 14th-century tower. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.[1]
The pulpit includes a 17th-century hourglass and the iron-bound parish chest dates from the same time.[2] Within the church is a copy of the Chained Book of 1609 by Bishop John Jewel, entitled Defense of the Apologie of the Church of England.[3]
In the churchyard is a medieval cross with three octagonal steps, a square socket, and an octagonal shaft. The head is missing.[4][5] The churchyard provides views across the valley to Dunkery Beacon.[6]
The WW2 cryptographer, William Clarke is buried there.[7]
