The Church of St Michael in Stawley, Somerset, England dates from the 13th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]
The current church stands on the site of an earlier Norman church from which some herringbone pattern walling survives in the nave.[2]
Much of the current church was built in early 16th century, paid for by local farmer and trader Henry Howe, who is remembered by a scroll over the door. Additional funding, possibly by the family of John Poulett, 1st Baron Poulett, paid for the tower which displays their coat of arms with three swords.[3]
The church register dates from 1528.[4] Despite some minor Victorian restoration in 1873 the church fabric is largely as it would have been in medieval times. In 2007 a sixth bell, which had previously been at the Church of St Peter and St Paul in Maperton, was added to the existing peel in the three-stage west tower.[5] [6]
The Anglican parish which was once part of the benefice of Wellington and district within the archdeadconry of Taunton, is now part of the newley formed benefice of West Tone.[7]
