Church of St Mary Magdalene, Chewton Mendip, Grade I listed church building in Chewton Mendip, England.
The Church of St Mary Magdalene stands as a Grade I listed building featuring a tall Somerset tower constructed in 1541 from Doulting stone, rising approximately 38 meters above the village landscape.
Originally established around 1050 with Saxon origins dating to 560, the church served as a Saxon minster with subordinate chapels before being granted to Jumièges Abbey in France following the Norman Conquest.
The church maintains its role as an active parish place of worship within the Diocese of Bath and Wells, hosting regular Holy Communion services on the fourth Sunday of each month.
Visitors can access the church during daytime hours with parking facilities available within 250 meters, and the building provides level access to main areas for accessibility.
The church contains a medieval stone seat called a 'frid' built into the north wall, historically used by individuals seeking sanctuary protection under church law during times of trouble.
