The Anglican Church Of St Mary and St John in Upton Noble, within the English county of Somerset, was built in the 12th century. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1][2]

The south door is Norman.[4] The church was altered in the 16th century and underwent Victorian restoration in the 1870s which included lengthening the nave and chancel.[1][3]
