St Andrew's Church, Chew Stoke

St Andrew's Church is a stone parish church in Chew Stoke featuring a three-stage tower topped with six bells and Victorian interior details. The structure contains 156 carved wood and stone angels distributed throughout the building.

The church was founded in 1401 and underwent significant changes during the Victorian period when a north aisle was added in 1862.

The church displays memorials and a bronze plaque honoring people from the village who died in the World Wars.

The church provides wheelchair-accessible level entry into the nave and has two disabled parking spaces near the gate. A hearing loop system helps visitors with hearing aids.

Three of the six bells were cast by the Bilbie family, with their oldest bell dating to 1698 still in working condition. This demonstrates a remarkable lineage of bellmaking craft that has endured for centuries.
