The Anglican Church of All Saints in Dulverton, Somerset, England was built in the 15th century and largely rebuilt in the 1850s. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
A church was recorded on the site by 1155 when it was squired by the Augustinians of Taunton Priory.[2]
The tower of All Saints Church in Bank Square survives from the 15th-century building; however, the rest of the church was extensively restored between 1853 and 1855 when it was largely rebuilt by Edward Ashworth.[1] [3]
In 2012 the BBC Radio programme Any Questions? was broadcast from the church.[4]
The parish is part of the benefice of Dulverton with Brushford, Brompton Regis, Upton and Withiel Florey within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[5]
The stone building has Hamstone dressings and a slate roof. The nave is of four bays. The three-stage west tower is supported by diagonal buttresses.[1]
The interior of the church includes several tablets memorials and fittings from the church before its restoration including a royal coat of arms from 1714.[1]
The churchyard is accessed via a lychgate from the town.[6]
