The Church of St Mary at Hemington, Somerset, England dates from the 12th century and has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.[1] It is now a redundant church under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2] It was declared redundant on 1 July 1971, and was vested in the Trust on 28 November 1972.[3]
The Norman church underwent major renovation in the 14th, 15th, 17th and 19th centuries. The 19th century work is attributed to the office of Sir George Gilbert Scott.[1] The tower, which was built between 1480 and 1500,[4] is one of the smallest complete church towers in England.[2] The interior includes box pews, pulpit and altar rails, and the remains of wall paintings.[2]
