[3] The earliest reference to a church at Walton dates to 1168, when one was recorded as being in the possession of Glastonbury Abbey.

[4] In its final form, the church was made up of a nave, chancel, porch and tower with five bells.

Hickley and the Marquess of Bath, John Thynne, the patron of the living, lord of the manor and chief landowner.

[4] Today the church forms part of the Benefice of Street, Walton and Compton Dundon.

The Blue Lias stone was sourced from quarries in the parish owned by the Marquess of Bath.

The roof of the nave is made of red deal shingle, with varnished cross ties.

[7] The church's pews and the altar are of oak, the pulpit of Bath stone and the lectern of iron and brass.

The font, gifted by Lord John Thynne, is largely made of Caen stone, with four pillars of polished Devonshire marble.

The south side of the chancel has a stained glass window in memory of the incumbent's first wife, Sophia Mary Hickley, who died in 1857.

The stained glass window at the west end of the north aisle was gifted by Mr. Horner of Mells.
