The Anglican Church of SS Peter & Paul, Weston in Gordano, Somerset, England, has been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1]

The tower and porch were built around 1300, while the rest of the building is from the 15th century,[1] with the work being funded by Sir Richard Percivale who died in 1483 and whose tomb is in the north isle of the nave.[2]

It has a four-bay nave, chancel and south chapel. The four stage tower is at the southern end of the church.[3]

The interior of the church includes the original Norman font and a stone pulpit from the 13th century, there is also a Jacobean pulpit on the north side.[4] The misericords have been dated as coming from the 14th century,[5] although some suggest they may be 12th and transferred from Portbury Priory.[6]

The parish is part of the benefice of East Clevedon with Clapton in Gordano, Walton Clevedon, Walton in Gordano and Weston in Gordano within the Portishead deanery.[7]
