Church of St Matthew, Wookey, Norman church in Wookey, England.
The Church of St Matthew features a three-stage tower with diagonal buttresses, pinnacles, and an embattled parapet rising above the Somerset landscape.
The church established in 1101 underwent substantial modifications between the late 13th and early 15th centuries, including work on the nave and chancel.
The interior contains a restored 13th-century font, multiple piscinae, and monuments, including a memorial to Thomas Clarke from the 16th century.
The Grade I listed status requires special permissions for any modifications to preserve the medieval architecture and historical elements of the building.
The polygonal stair-turret of the western tower terminates in a stone spirelet, displaying refined architectural details from the Perpendicular period.
