The Church of St Mary in Bruton, Somerset, England was largely built in the 14th century.

[4] [5] The first church on the site was founded by Ine of Wessex in the 7th century,[6] which grew into an Augustinian priory, becoming Bruton Abbey shortly before the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

In 1445, the construction of the more massive west tower was begun, followed by a new south aisle and central nave.

The north tower is simpler in design, built of three stages with angled corner buttresses and a stair turret.

It is built of four stages, and features a large six-light 15th century window, a clock face and canopied statue niches.

[4] The chancel is a striking change to the Gothic architecture of the nave, built in the Rococo or Late Baroque style.

The tenor bell, originally dating from 1528 like the fourth, was recast in 1846 by Charles and George Mears of Whitechapel.

This included new cast iron headstocks, gudgeons and bearings for the lightest five bells, new clappers and the frame was repainted.
