St Peter And St Paul

Chiselborough

Somerset

C12 origins, chancel C17, nave rebuilt by E L Bracebridge 1842.

Architectural Features

level with head of window are two carved-head corbels, possibly C12,

possibly C15 cinquefoil vent, now blocked, to head of gable

low simple parapet with moulded string with corner gargoyles and plain coping

crowning the tower a short octagonal spire with carved centreband, the edge ribs markedly curve-tapered, finial with weathervane - this spire not mentioned in an 1822 description.

The crossing has 3 low C13 chamfered double order arches to chancel

sides, the nave arch higher and semi circular, being reconstructed in 1911 using fragments of C12 work found buried in the walls

The font is thought to be 15th or 16th century.

Few fittings of note, but the font may be C15, octagonal with carved panels to bowl, simple shaft.
