Church of St Peter and St Paul, Kilmersdon, 12th-century Anglican church in Kilmersdon, England
The Church of St Peter and St Paul is a 12th-century place of worship with a four-stage tower featuring corner buttresses, spires, and decorative windows. The structure was built from light-colored stone and topped with a lead-covered roof.
The original structure was built around 1150 and underwent significant changes during the late medieval and Tudor periods. The Victorian era brought major restoration work that renewed much of what had worn with time.
The interior showcases finely carved figures supporting the altar table and a collection of 19th-century glass windows that cast colored light throughout the space. These artworks shape the impression visitors have when entering the building.
The site is located on Church Street and is easy to reach on foot when in Kilmersdon. The building has protected heritage status, so visiting may be time-limited and might require advance notice.
In 2013 a bell fell through two floors of the tower but came to rest in the beams above the bell ringers' space. What could have been a tragedy was narrowly avoided by chance.
