Church of St Mary the Virgin, Norton Sub Hamdon
The Church of St Mary the Virgin in Norton Sub Hamdon, Somerset, England has 13th-century origins but was rebuilt around 1510. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.
Restoration was undertaken by Henry Wilson in 1894 and again in 1904.
The five-stage tower, dating from around 1485, which rises was damaged by lightning and fire on 29 July 1894, but restored within a year preserving the original design. It has a double plinth, offset corner buttresses, dividing strings, battlemented parapet with pairs of corner pinnacles extended from buttresses, and central paired pinnacles corbelled off gargoyles.
The dovecote in the churchyard dates from the 17th century, and was associated with a manor house which was demolished around 1850.
