History
[edit]A church was recorded on the site by 1155 when it was squired by the Augustinians of Taunton Priory.[2]
The tower of All Saints Church in Bank Square survives from the 15th-century building; however, the rest of the church was extensively restored between 1853 and 1855 when it was largely rebuilt by Edward Ashworth.[1][3]
In 2012 the BBC Radio programme Any Questions? was broadcast from the church.[4]
The parish is part of the benefice of Dulverton with Brushford, Brompton Regis, Upton and Withiel Florey within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[5]
