Map
Though demolished in the 15th Century, parts of its Norman origins can still be seen in St Mary the Virgin Church in Cannington. The nave and chancel are enclosed under the lofty wagon ceiling with the original 131 painted bosses. The tower is 14th Century and the stoup, aumbry, font, and piscina are 15th Century. The seventeen carved stone consecration crosses on the outside walls of the chancel are a rare sight. The North wall slit is believed to be a viewing window, used by the nuns of Cannington Priory.
