The Church of All Saints in Kingston Seymour, Somerset, England date from the late 14th or early 15th century. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]

The base of the font is older than the church itself being Norman in origin.[2]

The church is almost surrounded by water and was inundated with water to a depth of 5 feet (1.5 m) during the Bristol Channel floods, 1607.[3]

The stained glass includes the Smyth-Piggot memorial in the west window which was replaced in a restoration of 1917 to designs by Roland Paul.[1]

The tower contains a peel of six bells, including three from 1632 which were cast by Purdues of Bristol.[2]

The parish is part of the Yatton Moor benefice within the deanery of Portishead.[4]
