The Anglican Church of St Francis in Stawell, Somerset, England was built in the 13th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
Construction of the church started in the 13th century on the site of a chapel which had been controlled by Glastonbury Abbey. The remains of an arcade in the north aisle is believed to come from about 1300.[2]
The fabric of the building was added to during the 14th and 15th centuries. It underwent Victorian restoration in 1874.[1]
The parish of Moorlinch with Stanwell and Sutton Mallett is within the benefice of Middlezoy with Othery, Moorlinch and Greinton which is part of the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[3]
The stone church has a two-bay nave and chancel with a short west tower. The tower is supported by diagonal buttresses.[1]
