Holy Saviours Church, Puxton

A Medieval church with a noticeably leaning tower on the low-lying north Somerset Levels. It stands on a small mound at the edge of an earthwork which has produced evidence of a 10th to 13th century settlement.

Dominated by its leaning tower, the church is externally Perpendicular in style, with an earlier Saxo-Norman nave to the south.

Its light, rustic interior features ledger stones – engraved stones covering old tombs – set in the flagged floor.

Fine oak box pews on the north side of the nave are probably early 18th century, and the oak reading desk and pulpit are Jacobean.
