St Peter’s Church in Williton was founded by Robert Fitzurse, brother of Sir Reginald who held the Manor House of Williton and was the leader of the four men who murdered Thomas a Becket in 1170. The font is dated 1666 and is made from alabaster from the cliffs of nearby Watchet. The church has a 15th Century piscina with niche and the windows are Elizabethan. The spire was lost in the storms of 1872 and the bells now hang in a stone bellcot.
