The Anglican Church of All Saints in Kingweston, Somerset, England was rebuilt between 1852 and 1855 by Charles Edmund Giles. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
A small amount of the fabric of the medieval church on the site, including the doorway, remains but it was largely rebuilt by Charles Edmund Giles between 1852 and 1855.[1] [2] The rebuilding was funded by Francis Dickinson the local member of parliament.[3] [4]
The structure of the church was damaged when bombs exploded nearby during World War II.[5]
The parish is part of the Wheathill Priory Group of Parishes benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[6]
The stone building has Doulting stone dressings and stone slate roofs. It consists of a three-bay nave and two-bay chancel. The single storey tower, which is supported by buttresses, has an octagonal spire.[1] [7]
The interior is all from the 19th century but it does have a 12th-century font.[1]
