The Church of St Peter and St Paul dominates the village of Bleadon, Somerset, England. [1]
It was built in the 14th century (dedicated in 1317), being restored and the chancel shortened in the mid 19th century. It is a Grade I listed building. [2]
The tower, which has been dated to around 1390, [3] contains five bells dating from 1711 and made by Edward Bilbie of the Bilbie family, [4] and one from 1925 by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. [5]
The interior of the church includes a Norman tub font and a pulpit dating from about 1460. The Sweetland organ dates from 1893 and was moved to its present position in 1956. [5] The stained glass window is from 1964. [6]
The Anglican parish is part of the Bleadon benefice within the archdeaconry of Bath. [7]
