Location of Church of St Mary the Virgin in Somerset
The most striking interior feature is the Normanchancel arch, with semi-circular head and colonettes. The pews, choir stalls, altar rails, pulpit, font and screen are all 19th century. There are several 18th and 19th century wall monuments particularly to the Hippisley Coxe family of Ston Easton Park,[1] who have their own chapel at the east end of the north aisle.[2]
The chancel was rebuilt in 1707 and the south aisle around 1800.[2]
The church underwent significant rebuilding in the 19th century, by Arthur Blomfield,[1] which included dismantling most of the building including the Norman arch, marking each stone and then rebuilding them in the same position.[2]
