Church of Saint Michael, Medieval parish church in East Coker, England
The Church of Saint Michael exhibits architectural elements from the late 12th century, with a northeast tower added in 1791 by Joseph Radford.
The church maintains records of its ecclesiastical leaders dating back to the 13th century, when the rector was appointed by the Lord of Manor at Coker Court.
The ashes of poet T.S. Eliot rest within this church, connecting the literary significance of his poem 'East Coker' to this religious structure.
The church contains eight bells cast by Thomas II Bilbie between 1770 and 1771, which remain functional for religious services and ceremonies.
The south transept window displays the coat of arms of the Helyar family, former local lords who held influence over the parish.
