The Parish & Priory Church of St. Mary was completed in 1450 and is at least the second church on this site, its predecessor being dedicated in 1259. The Priory attached to the church was dissolved in the sixteenth century and was a cell of a Benedictine Abbey in Angers, France.

The Church of St. John the Evangelist, Bridgetown dates from 1832. It was built by the eleventh Duke of Somerset for the tenants of his estate and was a chapel of ease to Berry Pomeroy.

Our plans for the church and churchyard include the refurbishment and enhancement of the interior, the landscaping of the churchyard, and to restore the external fabric. With this new, comfortable interior, and attractive churchyard, we can further share our Christian message and provide the community with a premier social and arts venue.
