Priory Church of St Andrew
Stogursey, Somerset TA5 - England, UK

Map
St Andrew’s Church in Stogursey was once a Benedictine priory and has one of the finest Norman interiors in the country. There are two Norman fonts; one depicts heads with strange unfathomable symbols on their foreheads. There is an unusual sloping chancel floor, part of which is thought to be the original crypt. Fragments of medieval wall paintings can be seen behind the tower door as well as an ichthyosaurus fossil set into the floor. The church contains a sanctuary ring, used by criminals seeking sanctuary in the middle ages.
