The Anglican Church of St Mary Magdalene in Cricket Malherbie, Somerset, England was built in the 12th century and rebuilt in 1855. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
A church was built on the site in the 12th century however it was rebuilt around 1855.[1] The rebuilding work was instigated by the Rev James Mountford Allen who was the curate of the church and headmaster of Ilminster Grammar School.[2]
