The tower, the internal arch of which is peculiar, has been reconstructed in Perp. times. The sanctuary contains a trefoiled piscina and an aumbry. Inside the church doorway is a bench bearing date 1623; it was originally the parish bier. Seavington St Michael, a parish 4 m. E. of Ilminster. The church is small, without tower or aisles.
