Church of St Michael, Shepton Beauchamp, Medieval church in Shepton Beauchamp, England

The Church of St Michael exhibits both lias and Ham stone construction, featuring a chancel, north chapel, vestry, nave, and three-stage west tower.

The church dates from January 17, 1201, with its west tower constructed in 1477 and subsequently rebuilt during the 16th century with buttresses and parapets.

The tower contains eight bells, several crafted by the Bilbie family in 1738, and displays Roman numeral clocks on its west and south faces.

The church maintains its position as part of the Winsmoor benefice within the Crewkerne and Ilminster deanery, offering regular religious services to the community.

The structure includes decorative gargoyles and two-light traceried bell-chamber windows with stone grilles, complemented by a polygonal stair-turret at the north corner.
