The Anglican Church of St Peter & St Paul in Churchstanton, Somerset, England dates from the 14th century and has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1][2]

Restoration work was carried out in 1719 and in 1830 a west gallery was added.[3] The rood screen was added in 1910.[2]

The church consists of a four-bay nave and a chancel which is at an angle to the nave and has a waggon roof.[4][2]

Within the church are a Norman or Romanesque font and Jacobean pulpit.[3] The font has a Hamstone square bowl which is supported by columns of Purbeck Marble.[4]

The parish is part of the Blackdown benefice which is within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[5]
