History

The church was built in 1817 and 1818 by George Allen Underwood.[1] It was built as a "free church" which meant that no-one paid pew rent.[2]

The building was altered and extended in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.[1] Further work to add a toilet and kitchen took place in 2014.[3]

The parish is part of the benefice of Christ Church with Saint Mary's within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[4]
