The Anglican Church of St Mary in Brompton Regis, Somerset, England was built in the 13th century. It is a Grade II* listed building. [1]
The tower of the church survives from the 13th-century building, [2] but the nave was rebuilt and the north aisle added around 1490. [1]
A musicians gallery was added in 1770. [2] Victorian restoration was undertaken in the 19th century when the roof was replaced and the south transept added to the building. [1] In 2010 permission was granted for the construction of a disabled toilet at the church. [3]
The parish is part of the benefice of Dulverton with Brushford, Brompton Regis, Upton and Withiel Florey within the Diocese of Bath and Wells. [4]
The stone building has a slate roof. It consists of a four- bay, chancel, south transept, and a four-bay north aisle. The two-stage west tower is supported by diagonal buttresses. [1] [5] A church may have stood on the site from the 11th century, which was the property of Barlynch Priory. [6]
Inside the church the pulpit dates from 1625, while the font is 19th century. [1] An early barrel organ was replaced in 1897 with a reed organ, by Thomas Christopher Lewis, which still remains in the church but has been moved from its original position. [2] The organ was again restored in 2014. [7]
