Church of St John the Baptist, Axbridge, Grade I listed church building in Axbridge, England
The Church of St John the Baptist features a central tower rising over 100 feet high with limestone walls and Doulting stone decorative elements.
Construction of the current structure began in the early 15th century, replacing an earlier building from 1230, with major restoration work completed in the 1880s.
The church ceiling contains medieval painted panels and carved bosses, including a Green Man figure with leaves emerging from its face in the North aisle.
The building remains open daily from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM, offering parking within 250 meters and level access to main areas for visitors.
A local artisan created the blue and white decorative plasterwork ceiling of the nave in 1636 for ten guineas, which remains intact today.
