Church of St Michael and All Angels, Puriton

The Church of St Michael and All Angels in Puriton, Somerset, England was constructed from local Blue Lias stone.

[1] The building is on the site of a previous church, built in the 11th century,[2] which was given by Robert de Chandos to Goldcliff Priory in South Wales in 1113.

The building is made up of a chancel, which was rebuilt in 1489 and again between 1859 and 1874,[2] and a nave, which was rebuilt in the 15th century, with a north aisle and south porch, all built from local Blue Lias.

The west tower has a pyramid roof and holds bells including one from the medieval Bristol foundry and three of 1725 by Abraham Rudhall.

[3] The parish is part of the Link benefice of Puriton and Pawlett, Cossington, Bawdrip and Woolavington within the Sedgemoor deanery.
