The Church of St Catherine in Drayton, Somerset, England dates from the 15th century. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.
St Catherine's exterior is blue lias and golden hamstone.[1] It was restored in 1855 by Maurice Davis of Langport and again in 1896.[2]
The 15th-century cross in the churchyard has a sculpture of St Michael with a sword and shield in the act of vanquishing a dragon.[3]
In 2002 plans to put a new floor in the tower provoked objections from parishioners and was eventually resolved by the Ecclesiastical Court.[4]
The rectory, known as Drayton Court, which dates from the early 19th century, is now a private house.[5]
The parish is part of the benefice covered by the Langport Area Team Ministry within the deanery of Ivelchester.[6]
