An evocative setting, in front of Muchelney Abbey and opposite the medieval Priest’s House, internally, the unique ceiling was painted in the 1600s with angels in Tudor costumes.

Legendary hilltop church with a perfect interior.

Breamore is one of the most famous and important Saxon churches in England, notable for its many Saxon details, but especially for the Saxon inscription carved into the arch of the south porticus.

The church dates from around 1450 and is built of red sandstone, with a tall, typically Somerset tower and contains a fabulous rood turret housing the spiral stair leading to the top of the rood screen.

The ancient cross in the churchyard is 15th century and two giant yews were grown to provide soldier’s bows and are said to be among the oldest in the diocese.

The church, which has some Saxon features, has been at the heart of the community for over 900 years.
