The church was originally built in the 14th century. The nave, chancel and porch underwent Victorian restoration and rebuilding work in 1865.^[1]

The parish is part of the benefice of Axbridge with Shipham and Rowberrow within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.^[2]

Architecture

In addition to the two-bay nave and chancel there is a three-stage west tower. Inside the floor of the church is encaustic tiles. There is a font dating from the 14th century which is topped by a Jacobean cover.^[1] The fragment of a Saxon cross carved on the north wall of the chancel is a symbol of the link between royalty, local landowners and the church.^[3]
