Church and Manor House.

Church and Manor House.
St Mary the Virgin, Compton Pauncefoot, Somerset. The church dates from the 15th century and is built of hamstone. In 1485 Sir Walter Pauncefoot left money for the building of the church.

The top of the spire became unsafe, and an appeal was launched in 1980, with the help of grants from the Department of the Environment and the Historic Churches Preservation Trust. They raised £18,000 for the necessary work to be carried out. The church has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building and is part of the Camelot Group of Parishes in the Diocese of Bath & Wells.

The PiP is showing the church entrance.

Thank you Gudrun. Yes almost every village has one. With the congregation numbers falling, most have to have maintenance help from other sources.
