The Anglican Church of St Mary Magdalene in Withiel Florey, Somerset, England was built in the 12th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.
History
Parts of the church date back to the 12th century. In the 15th century the nave was extended and the tower and porch added. In 1848 a Victorian restoration was carried out and the vestry added.
Architecture
The stone building has red sandstone dressings and a slate roof. It consists of a two-bay nave, two-bay chancel with two-storey vestry and a south porch. The two-stage tower is supported by diagonal buttresses. Inside the church is a Norman font. Most of the other fitting including the pulpit, harmonium and wrought iron altar rails are from the Victorian era.
