[1] Since the 1980s, St Bridget's parish has been in a local ecumenical partnership (LEP) with Brean Methodist Church.

[2] The dedication to Brigid of Kildare, an Irish abbess who died in 525, implies that Brean was a Celtic Christian settlement.

[3] The present church building has 13th-century origins but was largely rebuilt in the 15th century and again in 1882.

The interior includes a 17th-century pulpit and a 14th or 15th century octagonal stone font.

The church is a Grade II* listed building.
