The Anglican Church of St Mary in Chilthorne Domer, Somerset, England was built in the 13th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
The church was built in the 13th century,[1] and was granted to Bruton Priory in 1301.[2] Restoration and revision of the building took place in the 14th and 15th centuries with some Victorian restoration in the 19th.[1]
The parish is part of the Five Crosses benefice including Tintinhull and the surrounding villages within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[3] [4]
The hamstone building has slate roofs with a small bell turret.[1] It consists of a three-bay nave and two-bay chancel.[1]
Inside the church the pulpit is from the 17th century, as are some of the pews. The 15th-century font is octagonal.[1] An effigy in the sanctuary is dated to around 1275.[1]
