The Anglican Church of St Mary the Virgin in Nether Stowey in the English county of Somerset has a 15th-century tower, with the remainder of the church being rebuilt in 1851 by Richard Carver and Charles Edmund Giles. It is as a Grade II* listed building.
Nether Stowey had a small church by the 12th century with a three-bay nave. A gallery was added in the early 17th century. In 1791 a failed attempt was made to enlarge the church, but in 1814 a transept was added.[1]
The parish is part of the Quantock Villages benefice of Aisholt, Enmore, Goathurst, Nether Stowey, Over Stowey and Spaxton within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[2] [3]
The red sandstone church now has a nave, north and south aisles and a chancel with attached vestry.[4] The three-stage west tower is supported by diagonal buttresses and decorated with pinnacles and prominent gargoyles. The tower contains six bells which were recast in 1914.[1]
