St Mary's Church

The Parish Church of St Mary, more commonly known as St Mary's, is the main Church of England parish church for the town of Bridgwater, Somerset. Originally founded well before the Norman Conquest, the present church is a large and impressive structure dating primarily from the 14th and 15th centuries, with both earlier remains and later additions.

The church is notable for its Gothic architecture, large stained glass windows, and unusually tall spire, a rarity in Somerset, a county known for its tall and elaborate church towers. With a height of 174 feet, it is the tallest medieval spire in the county. Architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner, author of the 'Buildings of England' series, describes the spire as "exceedingly elegant".
