First mentioned in 1174 as St Jacobus-in-the-market, the church changed its dedication to St Philip and now has both saints as patrons, affectionately known as Pip ’n Jay. The present building dates from the early 13th century, but has been much changed. The nave still has its wagon roof with carved bosses, made from oak donated by Richard II. In 1962 the Bishop of Bristol decided to close the church, but a group of young evangelical Christians kept it open.
