Church of St John the Baptist, Midsomer Norton, Anglican parish church in Midsomer Norton, England
The stone church features a prominent three-stage west tower with a statue of Charles II and contains a five-bay aisled nave with a two-bay chancel.
The initial construction occurred around 1150, with the church remaining under Merton Priory's patronage until the dissolution of monasteries in 1539.
The medieval wooden effigy known as the Midsomer Norton Knight represents a member of the Gourney or Warknell family from the 13th century.
The church holds Holy Eucharist services every Sunday at 8 AM for 30 minutes and a Parish Eucharist with music at 10 AM.
The 1889 east window displays stained glass crafted by Charles Eamer Kempe, while the churchyard contains a memorial for 12 miners who died in 1839.
