Set on the Llyn Peninsula, St Mary is medieval in origin but the font is the only survivor of this age, a roughly hewn monolith in brown stone, painted white on its inner face, almost sunk into the shaft beneath.

The church stands next to Over Compton House, the home of the Goodden family.

The church tower is visible for miles around, and is in the 'Levels' style. The figures around the church roof are either gargoyles (water spouts) or Hunky Punks, a local name for grotesque carvings which are not gargoyles.

A historical gem on the Somerset Levels.

Dating from the 11th century, St Mary's has an interesting collection of stained glass, well worthy of a visit.

Oxford Movement church built in 1846 in Bridgwater.

Sir John Betjeman wrote that it was 'worth travelling 200 miles and being sick in the coach to have seen inside this many vista'd church'.
