History
[edit]The church was built between 1480 and 1500 after Cothay Manor was constructed. Some of the fabric of an earlier church on the site may still survive. It is believed that the Bluett family were responsible for its construction. [2]
It was expanded in the mid 17th century including the construction of the north chapel. It had a Victorian restoration in 1875.[1]
The parish is part of the Wellington and District benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[2]
