Church of All Saints, Castle Cary

Church of All Saints is a Gothic structure in Castle Cary featuring a three-stage tower with perpendicular architectural elements and period furnishings inside. The building houses bells and internal fixtures dating across multiple centuries.

The church was founded in 1401 with the current structure built in 1470, and underwent major renovation work in the 1880s by architect Benjamin Ferrey. These changes helped preserve and adapt the building for later generations.

The interior holds carved furnishings and memorials from different centuries that show the community's connection to this place over time. Walking around, you notice how these pieces tell the story of families and their importance to the congregation.

The church is located on Church Street and is accessible from the town center. Visitors should check ahead for opening times and any special prayer sessions available.

The tower bells were cast in 1760 by local bell-founder Thomas Bilbie and continue to ring for services today. Their sound has been part of the community for over 260 years.
