History

The church was built in the 12th century and then changed in the 13th and 15th centuries before a major Victorian restoration in 1887, when the tower was completely rebuilt.

In 2012 a small kitchen was installed in the church. Also in 2012 an antique table and chest were stolen from the church.

The benefice of Westbury-sub-Mendip with Easton is part of the Diocese of Bath and Wells.

Architecture

The stone building consists of a nave and chancel each of three bays, with an aisle, transept and porch on the south side. The organ chamber and vestry are on the north. The two-stage unbuttressed west tower has a small perpendicular stair turret.

Some of the fitting inside the church are from the 13th century including the piscina and font.
