St Philip and St James church
Grade II* listed Church of St Philip and St James at Norton St Philip in Somerset.
A hand-held zoom shot which has not turned out too bad.
Taken from Wikipedia:
The current building has elements dating back from the 13th and 14th centuries, however it is likely there was a church on the site before the Norman Conquest.
In 1345 the fair which had been granted to Hinton Priory was transferred to Norton St Philip which provided much of the income for the church.
The noted diarist Samuel Pepys visited the church in the 17th century and described the tomb of one of the Knights Templar which is now thought to be that of a lawyer or merchant from 1460. He also described the story of the "Fair Maids of Foscott", believed to be conjoined twins from a local village now known as Foxcote.
The memorials in the church include one to a soldier slain in Norton St Philip in 1643 during the English Civil War. There were further military casualties in the village during a skirmish in the Monmouth Rebellion
A major Victorian restoration was undertaken by George Gilbert Scott in the 1840s. In 2000 further restoration work was undertaken with new wood and steel vestry, toilets and meeting facilities being installed.
The tower has a clock by Benjamin Lewis Vulliamy and Charles Frodsham dating from 1841, and six bells. The east window has stained glass by Christopher Webb. In other windows there is much older glass.
