The Church of St Gregory in Weare, Somerset, England dates from the 11th century, although most of the building is from the 15th, and has been designated as a grade I listed building.[1]
The tower was built around 1407.[2] It is in four stages with pinnacles and pierced parapet.[3]
In the churchyard is a 15th century cross,[4] and a 19th century church room.[5]
In 1257 the church was granted to St Augustine's Abbey in Bristol and after the dissolution of the monasteries given to the dean and chapter of Bristol Cathedral.[6]
The font is older than the building dating from about 1150, while the pulpit is Jacobean.[7]
The parish is part of the Crook Peak benefice within the Axbridge deanery.[8]
