This church is not dedicated to a particular saint and is one of the most remote on Exmoor, standing 1013 feet above sea level on the moors about two miles south of Porlock. Only one other dwelling is near the building. The list of rectors dates back to 1242 but the church is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Like some other churches in the area, it retains its Saxon saddleback tower but the body of the church was completely rebuilt by the Aclands in 1897 and a small framed notice tells of Zulu, a donkey, who was used to bring wood from Porlock every day.
