St Mary's Church, Acton Burnell, Gothic church in Acton Burnell, England.

Robert Burnell, who later became Lord Chancellor of England and Bishop of Bath and Wells, commissioned the construction between 1275 and 1280.

Medieval floor tiles in the north transept and a 13th-century octagonal font represent the architectural traditions of medieval England.

The chancel contains windows with Purbeck marble shafts and includes a large double piscina, a specialized basin for washing sacred vessels.
