The Anglican Church of St Andrew in Withypool, Somerset, England was built in late medieval period. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
History
The church was built in the Middle Ages but the tower was rebuilt in the early 17th century. A Victorian restoration was carried out in 1887 with further rebuilding in 1902.[1][2][3]
The parish is part of the Exmoor benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[4]
Architecture
The stone building has slate roofs. It consists of a three-bay nave and a north aisle. The two-stage tower is supported by diagonal buttresses.[1] Partly set into the northwest buttress is a medieval carved stone cross.[5]
Within the church is a Norman font.[1] The white stone chalice-shaped font has a scalloped bowl on a cylindrical shaft.[6]
