The Anglican Church of St Mary in Charlton Mackrell, Somerset, England was built in the 13th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
The church was built in the 13th century and restored in the 1790s and 1840s.[1] [2] The tracery of the window of the transept was installed about 1330, however the original glass is no longer in place.[3]
The 1840 restoration included the removal of the singing gallery and extensive reconstruction and the addition of a vestry on the north side.[2]
The parish is part of the benefice of Somerton with the Charltons and Kingsdon within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[4]
The hamstone building has slate roofs. The chancel has corner buttresses as does the south transept.[1] The tower has gargoyles on the outside and six bells within.[1] [3]
Inside the church is a 13th-century circular font,[5] while most of the decoration and stained glass is from the 19th century Victorian restoration.[1]
