Church of St Mary, Compton Dando

Location
The Anglican Church of St Mary in Compton Dando within the English county of Somerset dates from the 14th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.

History and features
The Gothic style church was originally built in the 14th century, but has been revised several times. It has a west three stage square tower supported by diagonal buttresses. There is a peal of six bells in the tower.

There is a date of 1735 in the chancel, which is probably from one of the revisions, however most of the current fabric is from a Victorian restoration.
