The Church of All Saints in East Pennard, Somerset, England, dates from the 14th century. It is a grade I listed building.[1]
The tower contains a clock and five bells. They are the second heaviest peal of five bells in the world.[2]
Inside the church is a Norman font and several stained-glass windows; there is also an altar screen and monuments of the Martines and Napiers.[1]
The 15th-century churchyard cross was restored in 1919 as a memorial to those who died in World War I.[3]
In 2011, fundraising was undertaken to raise the £60,000 needed to repair the roof.[4]
The parish is part of the Fosse Trinity benefice within the deanery of Shepton Mallet.[5]
