Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: St Mary's Church, Stogumber The Parish Church of Our Lady Saint Mary, to give it its full name, is located in the centre of the village of Stogumber, on the south side of High Street.
I was surprised to find such a large and elaborate church in a small village (current population about 600). There has probably been a church here since Saxon times, although no trace now exists from that time. The church was a Minster church - a mother church for a large area which reached as far as the Quantock Ridgeway. Minster churches were responsible for sending preachers to surrounding rural hamlets to conduct services in the open, often under old preaching crosses like the one at Crowcombe. The oldest parts of the building are the tower and south porch, both of which date from the 14th century. |
