Church of St John the Baptist, Pawlett

The Church of St John the Baptist in Pawlett, Somerset, England dates from the 12th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.

The south doorway arch features three bands of decoration: lozenges, zigzags, and a biting beasts motif on the outer ring.

The 20th-century north window shows Christ blessing children who are in modern dress and holding a teddy bear and toy boat.

Unusual and ancient features of the church in part owe their preservation to major renovations made in 1779.

The crumbling of the church's blue lias stone led to its exterior being coated with cement.
