The Church of St Thomas of Canterbury in Lovington, Somerset, England, was built in the 13th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
The church was built in the 13th century and underwent Victorian restoration in 1861.[1]
The parish is part of the Six Pilgrims benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[2]
The stone building has Doulting stone dressings and slate or clay tile roofs. It consists of a three-bay nave, two-bay chancel and north aisle. The three-stage tower is supported by corner buttresses.[1] There are three bells in the tower dating from the 15th and 17th centuries.[3]
