Although a church has stood on the site since medieval times, St Mary’s at Nether Stowey was rebuilt between 1849 and 1851, with the exception of the 15th Century tower. A mitre stands each side of the sanctuary, denoting two bishops, John Fisher and Henry Majendie, who were former vicars here. The coat of arms of the Royal Chapel of St George, Windsor, is displayed over the chancel arch. Just outside the church is the grave of Thomas Poole, a contemporary of poets, William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
