The Church of St Mary in central Yatton, Somerset, England, is often called the Cathedral of the Moors due to its size and grandeur in relation to the village.[1] It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.
While the current church was constructed in the 14th century, it is likely that a previous church was located on the same site. The chapel which was added in 1496,[2] and various other alterations and expansions of the church can be seen in the account which have survived since 1445.[3]
The central tower, which was built around 1400,[4] has three stages with diagonal weathered buttresses with crocketed pinnacles. There is a south-east hexagonal stair turret rising above the parapet with panelled sides to the top, and an open cusped parapet. Unusually for Somerset a Dundry stone steeple was built in 1455–1456. In 1595 freemasons were engaged to take down the spire and reduce it to its present dimensions. There is a ring of bells within the tower.[5] The tower was damaged by fire in 1991,[6] resulting in the fourth bell having to be recast.
The 15th century Old Rectory is also a Grade I listed building.
