Church of St Mary, Woolavington

The Church of St Mary in Woolavington, Somerset, England has 11th-century origins and is a Grade I listed building.

[1] There may have been a church on the site prior to the Norman conquest but the present building may have been started around 1154 by Maud and Philip Columber the lords of the manor at that time.

[2] In the early 12th century it was granted to Goldcliff Priory in Monmouthshire by its founder Robert de Chandos who was lord of the manor of Woolavington.

[3] The tower, the upper stages of which were rebuilt in the 17th century,[6] has a peal of eight bells, the oldest of which was cast in 1400.

There is also a memorial stone to Sir John Hody an English judge and Chief Justice of the King's Bench who died in the 15th century.
