The Church of St Peter and St Paul is the Church of England parish church for the village of South Petherton, Somerset, England. The present church is a large and imposing cruciform-shaped structure constructed on the site of an earlier Saxon Minster, with the majority of the building dating from the 13th to 15th centuries; consequently, the building is Grade I listed.[1]
The church is notable for its Gothic architecture, stained glass windows, monuments and rare octagonal central tower, reputed to be the tallest of its kind in Britain.[2]
