Completed13th century

The Church of St Andrew in Compton Bishop, Somerset, England dates from the 13th century, being consecrated by Bishop Jocelin in 1236, with more recent restoration. It is a Grade I listed building.[1][2]

The church has a 14th-[3] or 15th-century pulpit with tracery panels, carved friezes and cresting, described as "one of the best in Somerset".[3] Above the pulpit is a large pedimented wall monument to John Prowse who died in 1688, as well as several of his children.[4]

The two-stage tower with pinnacles and a stair turret has been dated to around 1380,[5] although Harvey believes it is from the 15th century.[6] The south porch was added and the roof renewed in 1852 by the Bath architectural practice of George Phillips Manners and John Elkington Gill.[3]

The churchyard cross is grade II listed,[7] as are two chest tombs in the churchyard.[8][9]

The church is part of Crook Peak United Parish, which also includes the churches at Badgworth, Biddisham, Christon, Loxton and Weare.[3]
