Parish Church of St Michael

The Parish Church of St Michael is a church in Minehead featuring a distinctive tower with set back buttresses and slim octagonal piers throughout its eight-bay nave and chancel. The stone structure displays characteristic details of traditional parish church design with its architectural proportions and layout.

In the 12th century William de Mohun transferred the church to Bruton Priory, which managed it until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. This transfer shaped the building's medieval development and established its status as a significant religious site in the area.

The church serves as a gathering place for religious celebrations and works closely with local organizations, making it visible how the community comes together for shared values. People come here not only to worship but also to be part of a network that addresses local needs.

The church is located on St Michael's Road in Minehead and is easily reached from the town center. Visitors can find information about services and events by contacting the church or checking the parish office details.

A harbor cellar from 1628 commemorates a maritime rescue when a grateful survivor donated his building for prayer services. This space, the Chapel of St Peter, shows the connection between the community and the sea that shapes Minehead.
