St Mary Magdalene's Church at Langridge in the parish of Charlcombe, Somerset, England dates from the 12th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. It was restored by James Wilson between 1857 and 1861. [1]

There is a small nave and a two-stage Norman tower.[2] The apse was added by Charles Edward Davis, the Bath City Architect, between 1869 and 1872.[1]

In the nave are various monuments and memorials. A 37 inches (94 cm) brass of Elizabeth Walsche, who died in 1441, depicted in widow's weeds, was stolen in 2002.[3] Another monument, this one in stone, to the same woman remains.[4] Other members of the family also commemorated including a brass dating from 1790 which was drawn by Samuel Hieronymus Grimm.[5]

The parish is part of the benefice of Weston, Bath All Saints with North Stoke and Langridge within the deanery of Bath.[6]
