​A CHURCH WITHIN THE FOSSE TRINITY BENEFICE
Picture
The Church of St Mary Magdalene in Ditcheat, Somerset, England, has 12th-century origins. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.  It was built by the Abbots of Glastonbury Abbey. The chancel dates from the 14th century and the clerestory from the 15th.

The lower part of the tower was built around 1300 with the upper stages being added in the 15th century. The interior includes a large wall painting of St Christopher which dates from the late medieval period. The shields of Robert Stillington, Abbot John Selwood and Dean Gunthorpe can be seen above the chancel.

The churchyard contains war graves of a soldier of World War I and a soldier and airman of World War II.
