Church of St Decuman, Watchet, Medieval church building in Watchet, England

The stone structure features a chancel from the 13th century, with red sandstone additions including the north aisle and tower from the 15th century.

The first recorded evidence of the church dates to 1245, while major restorations by James Piers St Aubyn occurred between 1886 and 1891.

The Wyndham Chapel contains memorials of the noble family, including an altar tomb with brass effigies of Sir John Wyndham and Lady Elizabeth Sydenham.

Visitors can access the church via a hilltop location overlooking Watchet and the Bristol Channel, with a pathway leading to the restored holy well.

Medieval floor tiles from Cleeve Abbey decorate the chancel, while the south porch displays an unusual chequerboard pattern made from slate blocks.
