Church of St Andrew & St Mary, Pitminster, Medieval church in Pitminster, United Kingdom

The Church of St Andrew & St Mary features a two-stage west tower with an octagonal spire, built using local rubble stone and ham stone elements.

Construction of the church began in 1300, replacing a Saxon structure, followed by major expansion works during the fifteenth century and restoration in 1869.

The interior contains effigy tombs of three generations of the Colles family, who served as lords of the manor during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

The church maintains regular services as part of the Blackdown benefice in the archdeaconry of Taunton, welcoming visitors throughout the week.

The octagonal font from the fifteenth century displays decorative panels with figures of St George, St James, and Christ carved into its surface.
