Westonzoyland - Church of St Mary

St Mary’s Church with its 15th-century carved timber roof, has a link with two conflicts. It served as a prison for around 500 troops after the Battle of Sedgemoor and now contains a corner dedicated to local airmen who lost their lives in 1918 and 1919 and post World War II in the early 1950s.The four-stage tower has an embattled parapet with quatrefoil arcading, and set-back buttresses which terminate in pinnacles on the bell-chamber stage. The church is Decorated and Perpendicular with a richly decorated nave roof of angels holding shields. There are also some fragments of stained glass from around 1300. Grade I listed building
