The Church of St Andrewin Compton Bishop, Somerset, England dates from the 13th century, being consecrated by Bishop Jocelin in 1236, with more recent restoration. It is a Grade I listed building.[1]
The church has a 15th-century pulpit with tracery panels, carved friezes and cresting. Above the pulpit is a large pedimented wall monument to John Prowse who died in 1688, as well as several of his children.[2]
The two stage tower with pinnacles and a stair turret has been dated to around 1380,[3] although Harvey believes it is from the 15th century.[4]
