The Church of St Mary in Wedmore, Somerset, England is predominantly from the 15th century, although some 12th and 13th century work survives. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]
The tower, which was built around 1400,[2] with its set-back buttresses, includes triple two-light bell chamber windows; those to the centre are louvred, those to each side blank.[1]
There is a wall painting of St Christopher, that dates from the late 15th c or possibly early 16th. This is unusual as few late paintings survived the ravages of the two Cromwell's Oliver and Thomas. The painting also features ships and a mermaid at the feet of the saint, odd additions redolent of the sea rather than a river, which are unique to this otherwise common subject of church painting.
