The Anglican Church of St Peter and St Paul in Chiselborough, Somerset, England was built in the 12th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
The church was built in the 12th century with parts of the original fabric being included in later work.[2] In the 17th the chancel was added. In 1842 a Victorian restoration included rebuilding of the nave.[1]
The parish is part of the Ham Hill benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[3]
The hamstone building has Welsh slate roofs. It consists of a five-bay nave and two-bay chancel. The two-stage tower has a low parapet and short octagonal spire. The central tower is decorated with gargoyles.[1] The tower includes a bell which was cast in 1363.[2]
The interior has mostly 19th century fittings but the font is believed to date from the 15th century.[1] [2] One of the stained glass windows which was installed in 1988 is made up of 99 panes dedicated to the children of the village.[4]
