The round tower is definitely Saxon in origin, approximately 950 years old, and has a triangular headed doorway on the first stage above the tower arch inside the church and is constructed with some large puddingstone material near the base inside. The thickness of the flint walls is less than that of a Norman builder. It has Saxon belfry windows constructed with flat flints set to make a round topped opening. The bottom one on the west face is a modern one made to match the others. The tower is capped with a lead roof but at one time would have been tiled. The base of the tower is 6 inches thicker up to a height of 10 feet. During the 1797 restoration the church was described as “the aspect of a gloomy moss grown cavern” being changed into “a decent place of public worship”. During this restoration the north aisle and south porch were demolished and the east window was opened up. The chancel floor was also raised at this time and new seats added. At the 1855 and 1898 restorations the north aisle was rebuilt and the Norman parts of the north doorway returned to their former position. The south porch was rebuilt and a vestry added. The present pews were installed in 1898. The chancel arch is from the Perpendicular period and the wrought iron screen and modern rood were added in 1932. Pic by Jenny.

The Globe Inn Wells

The Globe Inn Wells

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay there again. The restaurant had a lot of dogs, which isn’t too good in a restaurant. The breakfast cup was very stained, so I had to get it swapped, but the food was very nice, with a lot of choice. Staff were very friendly, and we had a good laugh with them. "
