The Anglican Church of St Lawrence in Cucklington, Somerset, England, was built in the 13th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
The church was built in the 13th century. It underwent Victorian restoration in the 19th century.[1] [2]
The parish is part of the benefice of Charlton Musgrove, Cucklington and Stoke Trister with Bayford,[3] within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[4]
The stone building has clay-tiled roofs. It has a three-bay nave and two-bay chancel. The two-stage tower was rebuilt in 1705. It is supported by corner buttresses.[1] The tower contains six bells, three of which were cast in 1726.[2] The Cupola on the top of the tower, described by Pevsner as “pretty” was constructed in 1705.[5]
In the churchyard is a cross which was erected as a memorial to the men of the village who died in World War I.[6] [7]
The interior fittings are mostly from the 19th century but there are remnants of stained glass from the 15th century.[1] The font may be Norman.[8]
