St Mary's Church, Bishops Lydeard

The Church of St Mary in Bishops Lydeard, Somerset, England, dates from the 14th and 15th centuries and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.

[1] In 1860–62 the church was extended by one bay and a vestry, by Edward Jeboult of Taunton, added.

[1] On the stonework are hunky punks which have been severely damaged by the weather, however one appears to represent a Sea serpent.

[3] Between 2010 and 2011, an eleven-month restoration programme, focussing on the tower and costing £240,000, was undertaken by Sally Strachey Historic Conservation, under the supervision of Smith Gamblin Architects.

[4] Several of the tombs in the churchyard are of historical importance, as are two crosses, one dating from the 14th century,[5] the other being the town's market cross which was moved to the churchyard in the 19th century.
