All Saints Church in Otterhampton, Somerset, England, overlooks the River Parrett. The church dates from the 14th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building,[1] and is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2] It was declared redundant on 1 March 1988, and was vested in the Trust on 2 August 1989.[3]
A church was established on the site in the 12th century, was valued at £5 in 1291,[4] although the current building largely dates from the 14th. The Perpendicular west tower was added later and has an Elizabethan bell-frame with 4 bells, one of which dates from the 16th century and two others are dated 1617 and 1737.[1] The original dedication was to Saint Peter, however it was later renamed All Saints.[5]
The interior includes a Norman font with a Jacobean cover, a screen from the 16th century, and 17th-century communion rails. It was closed in 1988,[6] and is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[7]
