Church of St Michael and All Angels, Somerton, Grade I listed medieval church in Somerton, England.
The Church of St Michael and All Angels features a carved wooden roof with 640 quatrefoil panels and pairs of dragons facing each other.
The church structure, dating from 1201, received burial rights around 1140 when Empress Maud granted permission to elevate its status from a daughter church.
The interior woodwork displays local craftsmanship through its Jacobean pulpit, altar table, and detailed ceiling carved by monks from Muchelney Abbey.
The church maintains regular Sunday services with different formats, including Cafe worship and Holy Communion, while also hosting community events and concerts.
The roof timbers contain bullet holes from 1646, when soldiers camped in the church before the Battle of Langport.
